IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has qualities to become a successful leader, says director of cricket Vikram Solanki

Gujarat Titans director of cricket Vikram Solanki feels Hardik Pandya’s learnings from MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will help him when he leads the Titans in IPL 2022. 

Vikram Solanki, the Director of Cricket of Gujarat Titans, feels Hardik Pandya has all the qualities to become a very successful and fine captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Hardik was drafted by the Titans for Rs 15 crore and was announced as their captain well ahead of the auction.The all-rounder, who was an integral part of Mumbai Indians in the previous season, has no previous experience of leading in the IPL 2022.

However, Solanki feels Hardik’s learnings from MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will help him when he leads the Gujarat Titans. “We see in Hardik the qualities that can turn him into a successful and very fine captain. We have spoken a couple of times about his track record as far as winning IPL titles is concerned,” Solanki told The Telegraph.
