The defending champions Gujarat Titans have been having a great season in the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. The Hardik Pandya-led side is currently sitting in the top position at the IPL 2023 points table, with 8 wins from 11 games. Every player from the Gujarat Titans has risen to the occasion at crucial moments of the game.
Hardik Pandya took them to a title victory in their inaugural season and he has once again managed to impress one and all with his captaincy in the ongoing season.
Recently, the 29-year-old revealed his approach to captaincy in an interview and compared the success methods of Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Pandya highlighted how Mumbai Indians had the best players on board, but CSK got the best of their available resources, which was more inspiring for him.
Hardik Pandya Compared MI And CSK
Therefore, Hardik always looks to build a great team environment where every player is allowed to express himself. Speaking to former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa on Jio Cinema, Pandya said:
“There are two kind of success you can get. One is get the bestest people possible from A to B which I feel MI had, those few years where we’ve won or have the best environment possible for you to win which has been a CSK type where no matters who players are they get the best out of them. That was more inspiring for me to not get the best players but to get the best environment and get this thing,”
Talking about GT’s last season against LSG, Gujarat posted a huge total of 227/2 in their allotted 20 overs. GT got off to a flying start as openers Wriddhiman Saha (81 off 43), and Shubman Gill added 142 runs for the first wicket off just 73 balls.
Gill continued his purple patch and remained unbeaten on 94* off 51 balls. In reply, Lucknow batters failed to chase down the total. Mohit Sharma (4/29) was the pick of the bowlers for Gujarat.
Gujarat Titans will be next seen locking horns with Mumbai Indians on Friday, May 12, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
