In his debut IPL season, Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya lifted Indian Premier League trophy, leading his side with all rounder performance and exceptional leadership qualities.
Leading from the front, he has performed with bat and ball. There were concerns over his ability to bowl in IPL 2022, but Pandya swatted them all away with some terrific performances, particularly in the IPL final. He ended the tournament with his highest run-tally in a single IPL season, and to add to that also took eight wickets.
