Mumbai: Gujarat Titans’ cricket director Vikram Solanki has said that Hardik Pandya can be the best captain in the IPL. Solanki said Pandya has the potential to succeed as a captain and has learned a lot from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.
‘The factors for success as a captain can be found in Hardik Pandya. Hardik was a member of the leadership team of the Indian team. Pandya has learned a lot from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. Hardick will use all of that in his captaincy growth. Hardik will have the strong support of the support staff.
‘Hardik is working hard on his return from injury. He is convinced that he has to gain more speed in batting, bowling and fielding. Although he was a key player for the Mumbai Indians last season, Hardik has no captaincy experience. However, he will be able to lead the team to the best of his ability, ”said Vikram Solanki.
