Cricket: Mumbai captain Pandya is serving a one-match ban at start of IPL

# Cricket: Captain Hardik Pandya won’t be able to lead Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League opener against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. He is serving a one-match ban for a third consecutive slow over-rate in last year’s competition. Pandya says the situation was out of his control after they’ve bowled the last over one-and-a-half or two minutes late, and they didn’t realise the consequences at the time. Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai against Chennai.
