Notably, the final date for the ten teams to announce their retentions for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is October 31. Hence, Pandya's post has left his fans on their toes who were left wondering whether his announcement is related to IPL. Pandya didn't have a memorable season in 2024 as he returned to Mumbai Indians (MI) from Gujarat Titans in pre-season transfer window. Upon his return to the franchise which built him in his formative years, Pandya was also appointed the captain of the team but didn't have a memorable outing as Mumbai finished on the last spot on the points table. Hence his post has once again sparked conversations around a possible IPL move. "I'm going to announce something big soon, will let you'll know in sometime," wrote Pandya in his Instagram story.
