Jaipur: What does any team need from a captain? Not only that, the captain should lead the team from the front foot when needed. Aakash Chopra was also saying the same thing in the commentary. When Mumbai Indians lost 3 wickets for just 20 runs against Rajasthan Royals, Akash believed that Hardik Pandya would take the field, but it did not happen. During this period, wickets kept falling and Hardik Pandya would sometimes sit on the seat in the dugout, sometimes do pushups and sometimes walk. Then when he came on the field, he could face only 10 balls and could score only 10 runs.
