When your captain is doing well, it helps you. It is wonderful to play under his captaincy. He is constantly reposing faith in the players. He has all the qualities of captaincy. He is a natural captain.

Gujarat team is participating in IPL for the first time. In their debut IPL, this team has performed brilliantly so far. The team of Gujarat had earned a ticket for the playoffs while on top of the points table. The way this team achieved the target of 189 runs in Qualifier 1 is commendable. It was not easy for Hardik to perform well after recovering from injury but he not only handled the team from the front, but whenever he felt the need in batting or bowling, Hardik played his role well.

According to Miller, 'I have thoroughly enjoyed playing under Hardik's captaincy. Whenever the team needed him, he came forward and contributed. His plan is very clear and clear. Certainly we all are enjoying playing under his captaincy.' Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya scored 131 in 15 matches in this IPL. Has scored a total of 413 runs at a strike rate of 52. Opener Shubman Gill has scored 403 runs. David Miller of South Africa has scored a total of 381 runs at a strike rate of 136.07.
