Last season, the franchise signed Gujarat Titans signed Hardik Pandya as their skipper at a whopping price of INR 15 crore. In return, the dashing cricketer looked exceptional in the season with his captaincy, batting, and bowling. As a batter, he became the leading run-scorer for the team scoring 487 runs in 15 matches, at a strike rate of 131.26, with four half-centuries.
With the ball, he picked up eight wickets at an economy of 7.27. Holding the captaincy mantle responsibly, he led from the front with his all-round performances and made his team champion in its debut season. In the next season, the franchise will expect him to continue his form and win another trophy.
Since the 2022 league season, the level of Pandya’s performance has soared as he looked good for the Men in Blue too. In the marquee tournaments Asia Cup 2022 and ICC T20 World Cup 2022, he won games with his all-round skills.
