Hardik Pandya on the Dhoni way
MS Dhoni has also won many trophies as captain. But after winning the trophy, Dhoni always hands over the trophy to the young players and stands on the sidelines celebrating. Similarly, in Dhoni’s way, Hardik Pandya also gave the trophy to the youngster and the act of seeing the beauty moved the cricket fans.
I value intuition
After the match, Hardik Pandya said, “I don’t take pre-conceived ideas about the pitch and plan what is needed for that day’s game. In my captaincy, I will try to implement simple ideas without overthinking and messing around. I value my instincts more. If it fails, it will be entirely my failure. This stadium has the experience of playing in IPL finals. IPL is completely different. Then you have to think differently. But international competitions are different. This requires a different way of thinking. I was thinking that Indian team can win if they bat first. It has happened perfectly,” he said.
