My way of leadership is making sure that you take the team along – Hardik Pandya

India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be seen in a new avatar as he will lead the new Ahmedabad franchise in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.

Pandya hasn’t ever led any IPL team in the tournament thus far and it will be interesting to note how he will lead the team.

Pandya wants to lead from the front in the IPL and he stated his way of leadership will be to make sure that he takes the team along with him. The all-rounder wants to set a new culture and attitude and make his players comfortable so that they can give more than 100% on the field for their team.

“For me, my leadership role means I set examples, I set the culture, I set the attitude which the team wants to play with. I want to set the precedent where everything has to be followed. So my way of leadership is making sure that you take the team along,” Hardik said while talking to Boria Majumdar on Backstage with Boria.

“So my philosophy is not too complicated, it’s simple. You make sure that everybody is in the right spirit, make sure the environment is right, make sure all the players are feeling at home, and eventually, all the players fight (for the team). Once they get comfortable, they know what their potential is.”

Along with Hardik Pandya, Ahmedabad had signed up leg-spinner Rashid Khan and opener Shubman Gill for INR 15 crores and INR 7 crores respectively. Thus, Ahmedabad will enter the mega auction with the remaining purse value of INR 53 crores.

Meanwhile, doubts have been raised on Pandya’s fitness as he didn’t even bowl a single over for his former franchise Mumbai Indians in IPL 2021. However, Pandya revealed that his aim is to play as an all-rounder and he is preparing accordingly for the IPL.

hat’s my plan. I want to play as an all-rounder. My preparation is all about playing as an all-rounder. If something goes bad, then I don’t know. But my preparation, my hard work is all about playing as an all-rounder.”

Providing an update on his fitness, Hardik said: “I am feeling good, feeling strong and eventually the time will say what exactly happens.”

Hardik Pandya will look to make a strong comeback and lead from the front as he has been given a huge responsibility by the new franchise. IPL 2022 is all set to begin on March 27.
