IPL 2022: Hardik Pandya has this to say about Dhoni and CSK - Check here!

Hardik Pandya, who played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL last year, was released by the Mumbai team ahead of the IPL auction.

Subsequently, the Gujarat Titans, one of the new IPL teams, bought Hardik Pandya and appointed him as their captain.

Location issue

Earlier, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya had been stumbling to bowl for the past few years due to injury. Pandya's lack of fitness had also made it difficult for him to feature in the Indian team.

Hardik Pandya had featured in some series in the Indian team without bowling as an all-rounder. It had met with harsh criticism. Thereby, some Indian players have been replacing Hardik with all-rounders.

Captain of the Gujarat Titans

Thus, it is questionable whether Hardik Pandya will get a chance in this year's T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya has been signed as the captain of the Gujarat Titans for the 15th IPL season.

Jersey Debut Show

Only if Hardik Pandya excels in both batting and bowling in the IPL will he be able to regain his place in the Indian team. Thus, this year's IPL series is one of the most important series for him. Recently, Hardik and many others, including the coaches of the Gujarat Titans, attended the jersey debut.

Things about the CSK team

He was then asked by a reporter about bowling in the IPL series. Hardik had replied that the matter should be a surprise. Also, he mentioned something about the CSK team during the event.

"I am looking forward to the match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings because Mahi Boy is in the Chennai team," he said.

Many young players in the IPL have also expressed their desire to play under Dhoni. Hardik Pandya, who is currently the captain, has said that he is eager to play against Dhoni's team, one of the best captains.

The first league match between Chennai and Gujarat will be played on April 17.
