Former cricketer Wasim Jaffer applauded Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya’s captaining efficiency in a humorous meme on his Twitter page following his third fifty of the season. After Shubman Gill (7) and Wriddhiman Saha (25) struggled to get going against the Kolkata bowling line at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, Hardik Pandya made his third straight half-century. Gujarat Titans captain Pandya has returned after missing the last game.
Hardik Pandya seems nothing less of a surprise in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2022. He is leading an Indian Premier League squad for the first time. He has guided the new franchise with amazing skill and temperament, winning five of six games. After winning the toss against KKR at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai, Pandya also became the first captain this season to choose to bat. Captains of all franchises that had won the toss chose to field before this game.
Gujarat Titans captain Pandya has returned after missing the last game due to a groin injury. Vijay Shankar, the all-rounder, was replaced by him. Aaron Finch, Pat Cummins, and Sheldon Jackson were replaced by Tim Southee, Sam Billings, and Rinku Singh for KKR.
"How will @hardikpandya7 manage his all-round workload + Captaincy?"
