Pandya did what Dhoni or Rohit Couldn’t
Leading Gujarat Titans, Pandya did the unimaginable. Defeating all the odds, Pandya and his team won the coveted IPL trophy after defeating Rajasthan Royals in the final match. Pandya led his team from the front and gave some decent performances with both bat and the ball.
Soon after that, Pandya was named as the Indian skipper to lead the Men in Blue contingent against Ireland. The likes of Deepak Hooda and Umran Malik flourished under Pandya’s captaincy and gave their best. To note, Hooda scored his maiden T20I century and the express pacer from Jammu and Kashmir showed what he is capable of bowling at 145KMph regularly.
