Hardik Pandya’s stellar stint with GT:

During his tenure with GT, Pandya showcased his multifaceted talents, significantly impacting the team’s fortunes. After clinching the IPL title with GT in 2022 and finishing as runners-up last year, Pandya shares strong bonds with former teammates, engaging in lively conversations with players like Jayant Yadav and Rahul Tewatia.

In a notable move last November, Pandya returned to his former franchise, Mumbai Indians (MI), following a trade between the two teams. His stint with GT saw impressive performances, with Pandya amassing 833 runs in 31 matches at an average of 37.86 and a striking rate exceeding 133. Additionally, he exhibited his bowling prowess, claiming 11 wickets for the team, including best figures of 3/17.
