Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is all set to captain the Gujarat Titans in the upcoming IPL 2022 season and this will be his first stint in the leadership role. The Baroda lad was retained by the franchise ahead of the mega auction after Mumbai Indians decided to let go of him.

Pandya can certainly come up the order if needed considering the game situation and he is more of a batter than a bowler. However, his two-three over spells are going to be very crucial in terms of the side having the right balance, and he has a lot of variations under his belt as well.

Pandya had a brilliant IPL 2019 season for the Mumbai Indians where he scored 402 runs in 15 innings at an average of 44.66 and an unbelievable strike rate of 191.42. He played a lot of impactful innings and got his team out of bail a lot of times in the title-winning campaign. It will be interesting to see Pandya’s leadership skills in this IPL considering India’s future as well.
