The most talked about name among the player signings for IPL 2024 was Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya has been trending heavily for the last two to three days. Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Hardik Pandya to name a few were dominant. Hardik Pandya’s IPL journey started with Mumbai Indians who later reached Gujarat Titans. It should be known what Hardik Pandya has given to his team during his almost two-year stay in GT.
Hardik Pandya won the title for Gujarat Titans as soon as he became captain for the first time.
Hardik Pandya is one of the few IPL captains to win the title in the first attempt. After winning the IPL title as a player for Mumbai Indians, when MI released him, Gujarat Titans took him into their fold without an auction and also made him captain. At the time, everyone was surprised at how GT took this risk. However, this became clear later when GT, captained by Hardik Pandya, won the title at the first attempt. The team took first place after the end of the league phase. After that, when the second season began, no one suspected that this team would even come close to repeating the same story. In IPL 2023, the team topped the table again and reached the final. But in the last round, CSK captained by MS Dhoni defeated them and the dream of winning the trophy twice in a row remained unfulfilled.
Hardik Pandya’s performance for Gujarat Titans
Hardik Pandya not only led his team Gujarat Titans to the title but also won the Player of the Match award in the last game of 2022. His team remained top of the league by winning the most games two years in a row. Hardik Pandya has scored 833 runs for Gujarat Titans so far, his average is 41.65. The hit rate is 133.49. He added 11 wickets to his account, the economy of which was 8.10. This shows how important Hardik Pandya is to his team. It remains to be seen how his next season goes.
