Hardik Pandya<\/a> led Gujarat Titans<\/a> to the IPL title<\/a> in their very first season itself after defeating Rajasthan Royals<\/a> in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium<\/a> on Sunday (May 29). The former Mumbai Indians<\/a> all-rounder was handed the responsibility of leading the newly joined franchise.<\/p>\n

Hardik Pandya\u2019s childhood coach revealed his conversation with the GT skipper post the \u201cKoffee with Karan\u201d controversy. Hardik\u2019s ex-coach Jitender Sharma revealed how Hardik did not sleep an entire night when he met him upon coming back to India. He also stated that the GT skipper gave him assurance that something like this will never happen and claimed Hardik\u2019s late father would be very proud of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe hadn\u2019t slept the whole night, na?,\u201d the coach asked another person in the room. \u201cTension nahin lena hai<\/em>\u00a0(Don\u2019t take tension). You will get back to playing for India very soon.\u00a0Jo ho gaya, voh ho gaya<\/em>\u00a0(what\u2019s done is done), no use worrying about it. Come tomorrow to Reliance stadium. Now, smile,\u201d Jitender told\u00a0Indian Express.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI had booked a badminton court for us to play. Just to get the competitive juices and the joy of sport back in him. I wanted him to sweat out. It freed him, usko ehsaas hua\u00a0<\/em>(he realized) that he is a sportsman and this is what he is born to do. Not chat shows,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach, you will not hear any negative thing about me after this\u201d Jitender recalled Hardik\u2019s words. \u201cHe has held that word, his father would have been so proud today,\u201d Jitender concluded.<\/p>\n
