Speaking more about Pandya’s career, the all-rounder has achieved a lot of success in the IPL. He won the IPL championship four times with the Mumbai Indians before switching to the Gujarat Titans this year. Pandya is all set to lead the Titans in IPL 2022. Here’s what Indian chief selector Chetan Sharma said about Hardik recently:
“Definitely, Hardik was a very important part of the Indian team. But now after the injuries, we’ll say that until he isn’t 100% fit, until we get that information that he’s ready to go, is bowling, and is match fit.”
