'Even Dhoni made mistakes': Ex-IND cricketer's U-turn on Hardik's captaincy

One of the biggest turning point in Hardik Pandya’s career was IPL 2022. Up until then, world cricket was well aware of his all-round skills and match-winning abilities. But that IPL season introduced Hardik the captain, a side none had even considered to explore and the arrival of it couldn’t have been better with India contemplating captaincy future after Rohit Sharma. And so impressive it was with title win for Gujarat Titans in 2022 and run to the final in the next season, that most, if not all, experts compared his tactical abilities to that of MS Dhoni. Hardik was immediately elevated to the position for the Ireland series that summer before being handed leadership duties every time regular skipper Rohit Sharma was rested.
