"There are so many legends in the team and every day, we get to learn a new thing. So, it is a dream come true for me to play for Mumbai Indians," Pandya said during his visit to the Taiwan Expo here on Friday.

Pandya visited the Taiwan Expo along with Mumbai Indians teammates Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. The players not only experienced the Taiwanese technology but also took a tour of the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion which showcased never seen before innovative products from Taiwan's most popular brands.

Mumbai are currently fourth in the IPL table with 12 points, having won six of the 13 matches they have played so far.
