In the New Year 2023, the Indian cricket team will play a series of 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs at home against Sri Lanka. A lot of young players have been given an opportunity under the leadership of Hardik Pandya in the first T20 series. A lot of young players are expected to get a chance in this series where seniors including Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who performed well in the T20 World Cup held in Australia, have been sidelined. In that way, Shivam Mavi, a young fast bowler from Uttar Pradesh, who played in the Indian team that won the 2018 U-19 World Cup, is hoping to get a chance in this series.
He took 5 wickets in 9 matches for the Kolkata team in the last 2018 IPL and in the 2020 season he took 9 wickets in 8 matches at a good economy of 8.15. More than that, in the 2021 season, he took 11 wickets in 9 matches at an excellent economy of 7.24 and showed good performance. This year, he was bought again in the Kolkata team for 7.25 crores. He took 5 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 10.32.
Master Captain:
Due to this, he was dropped from the Kolkata team and was bought by Gujarat Titans for a whopping sum of 6 crores in the recent auction. He has been selected for India for the first time in that situation and has expressed hope that he will get a chance in the 11-man team that will play in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. In particular, Hardik Pandya, who gave Gujarat a trophy in his first year and gave respect to all the players despite his lack of captaincy experience, is a master of captaincy.
Here is what he talked about in a recent interview: “Hardik Pandya supports every player in his team. He is the best leader. Especially in the first year of the IPL series, winning the trophy is one of the most difficult. But he has done it. He led the Gujarat Titans team to win the championship. Very calm he takes some bold decisions”

“Hardik Bhai as a captain is very smart and tactical. He especially knows who to send up the batting order and which bowler to use at what time. However, it was not easy for me to get the opportunity. But I hope I get a chance in this series. I will try to do well and impress him and continue to play for India.”
“Because playing for India is the proudest moment of your life. Prithivi and Subman Gill had made their debut for India before me. But I know that my time has not come. Each player has unique fortunes. And I expected to go for 5-6 crores in the IPL auction. Because I have been consistently doing well in local cricket. At the same time I wanted to play for Gujarat. Because I heard their management is good”

“Especially Hardik and Nehra Bhai who can think the match very well. Having initially started my career as a batsman, I eventually realized that I lacked batting skills. After that, I am confident that I will be able to become a bowling all-rounder after starting the bowling.
