Hardik Pandya
The most talked about name among the retention of players for IPL 2024 was Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya has been trending a lot for the last two-three days. Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Hardik Pandya to name a few have been dominant. Hardik Pandya’s IPL journey started with Mumbai Indians, who later reached Gujarat Titans. It should be known what Hardik Pandya gave to his team during his stay in GT for almost two years.
Hardik Pandya won the title for Gujarat Titans as soon as he became captain for the first time.
Hardik Pandya is counted among the few captains of IPL who won the title in the first attempt. When MI released him after winning the IPL title as a player for Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans took him in their fold without any auction and also made him the captain. At that time everyone was surprised as to how GT had played this gamble. But this was realized later when GT won the title in the first attempt under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The team finished on top after the league stage ended. After this, when the second season started, no one had any idea that this team would come close to repeating the same history again. The team again topped the table in IPL 2023 and reached the finals. However, at the last turn, CSK under the captaincy of MS Dhoni defeated them and the dream of winning the trophy twice in a row remained unfulfilled.
Hardik Pandya’s performance for Gujarat Titans
Hardik Pandya not only led his team Gujarat Titans to the title, but also won the Player of the Match award in the final match of the year 2022. His team remained table topper by winning the most matches for two consecutive years. Hardik Pandya has scored 833 runs for Gujarat Titans so far, his average being 41.65. The strike rate is 133.49. He has added 11 wickets to his account, whose economy has been 8.10. From this it can be understood how big a player Hardik Pandya is for his team. It remains to be seen how his next season goes.
