IPL 2022: “My way of leading is to set an example”

Hardik reacted after being chosen as leader by opening his leadership mantra. He said he would seek to set an example and build a culture. Speaking to reporter Boria Majumdar on his show “Boria’s Backstage,” Pandya told reporters, “My way of leading is to set an example, to set the culture, to set the attitude that the team wants. So, my way of leadership is to lead the team.

“So, my philosophy is not too complicated. You have to make sure the environment is good, the players feel at home, and once everyone is comfortable, they realise their potential,” Pandya added. The 28-year-old has been a big part of the Mumbai Indians’ plans over the past few seasons. However, he was released after a poor performance in the IPL 2021, when the team failed to defend the title.

After a memorable T20 World Cup, the cricketer battled injuries and form issues and was also knocked out of the national team. His inability to bowl and the whole mess around it at the ICC event resulted in a rather awkward situation.

Asked for an update on his fitness and comeback plans, Captain Ahmedabad asserted: “I want to play as an all-rounder. If things go bad, then I don’t know, but my The preparation, my effort is all about playing an all-around player. I feel good, I feel strong, and in the end, time will tell what happens.”

Ahmedabad will be looking to assemble a good squad at the IPL 2022 mega-auction in Bengaluru on February 12-13. The Lucknow Super Giants are another new team in this year’s IPL, which will be a 10-team tournament.

Gary Kirsten has been named batting coach and mentor, while Ashish Nehra will be the team’s head coach.
