Rashid Khan, who plays leg spin for Afghanistan, lauded Hardik Pandya for the leadership traits he possesses and stated that the all-rounder have the talents necessary to lead the Indian squad if he were given the opportunity.
Hardik Pandya demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities by guiding the Gujarat Titans to the Indian Premier League championship in their very first season of competition in 2022. As a former member of the Gujarat Titans, Rashid was able to observe the all-qualities rounder’s as a team captain firsthand.
I was a member of the team when Hardik Pandya was the captain. He demonstrated in the IPL that he possesses the attributes of a leader as well as the talents necessary to advance his squad. The decision on who will be the future captain of the Indian cricket team will be made by the Indian cricket board, but the leg-spinner said that he had a lot of fun playing for him.
A format that is different, in which you will need to be prepared because there will not be any time for you to contemplate. You need to have a sharp mind. While discussing the difficulties of competing in the T10 league, one Aghan player remarked that the experience “toughens you up as a bowler and mentally prepares you for the huge games you play when you represent your country.”
In order to be successful in the league, Rashid revealed his secret mantra with the bowlers and advised them to play to their individual strengths while competing in the league.
“Batters target the bowlers from ball one, and you have to be imaginative and believe in your skill and strength to bowl in the appropriate spots,” added Rashid. “You also have to believe in your ability to bowl in the proper areas.”
“ICC events are unique in that they put participants under pressure. The bowler highlighted his excitement over the opportunity to play in the One-Day International World Cup in India, where he has previously competed in cricket. “We are qualified, so we will play freely and try to apply ourselves on Indian wickets,” he said.
Hardik Pandya has led India to victory in 15 of their 19 Twenty20 International matches that he has commanded. A few weeks ago, he led India to victory over New Zealand in a Twenty20 series that was played on their turf, strengthening his case to lead India in the future.
Pandya has won 11 of his 15 games as captain of the Gujarat Titans, leading his team to win each time. In addition, he has scored more than 400 runs with the bat, including four half-centuries, and in the few times that he has bowled throughout the IPL 2022, he has taken eight wickets.
