Hardik Pandya that the former Indian star prompted to claim to be an Indian T20 captain from Suryakumar Yadav
Indian star Allrounder Hardik Pandya is probably one of the best finisers in a crunch with a white ball. He is a comprehensive player with a great match and has sets of skills that can introduce him to any team in the world.
Hardik was supposed to become a permanent Indian captain at T20IS after Rohit Sharma withdrew from the format after the Indian World Cup T20 2024. But the new team management under the main coach Gautam Gambhir decided for the second time and gave Suryakumar Yadava the permanent role of the captain.
Former Indian cricket Mohammad Kaif broke his silence on the matter and believes that Pandya must feel sad that he was not given the captain. He also called Pandya irreplaceable given his valuable skills with a stick and a ball.
Mohammad Kaif reflects on the Hardik Pandya Rollercoaster Road
Mohammad Kaif praised Hardika and remembered his trip from last year. He greeted him that he came out of the IPL 2023 difficult period and helped India to have a historic wins in the T20 2024 World Cup.
“People were after the life of Hardik Pandye during IPL 2024. He faced many bricks; fans scared him at Wankhede Stadium. He never talked about his pain,” Kaif said in his X (earlier Twitter) account.
“He is the same player who incorporated the finals in the T20 World Cup final to give India to the trophy. He shouted his heart after winning India. He never showed his emotions during IPL when the Mumbaj Indians did not perform well,” he added.
Kaif also talked about Pandj’s unfortunate injury at the 2023 World Cup in the World Cup 2023 and remembered that India was left to think about her combination. Without Pandya, the men in the blue were severely affected because they had no players to replace his skill sets.
“He was injured in the full ODA 2023 World Cup. You didn’t get a replacement. No player could replace him. Mohammed Shami bought well, but India was injured by the backbone of this team.
You think Hardik deserves a captain. The most valuable Indian white ball player, the original finisher, the World Cup hero and does not affect the abuse of the stadium. Sub Ko Chup Kara Diya, a real leader.#Krketwithkaif11 #Teamindia pic.twitter.com/zjr4vpblg8

“You don’t have players like Hardik Pandya” – Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif further expressed disappointment because Hardik Pandya was not Captain India, although he had a good record at IPL, he feels that Pandya always does his best, and India has no replacement yet.
“He (Pandya) is not a captain right now. Do you think he doesn’t feel bad? Is he a man, and he doesn’t feel anything? Not even Vice -President of this Indian team. Hardik is the captain of the Mumbaj Indians.
“Hardik does its role at best. Hardik Pandya always does your best. You can’t find anyone with your skill set up when you get hurt. I think you have no players like Hardik Pandya. In the population in the population in 1.4 billion, there is only one true The versatile, and that is Hardik Pandya, “he added.
Pandya led the Gujarat Titans to the title of title in the IPL 2022. The same team ended as the winners next season. However, he decided to head for the former Mumbai Indian team next season and was appointed captain of that franchise.
