Gujarat Titans won the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in their first appearance itself. Skipper Hardik Pandya led the Titans from the front and showed amazing consistency throughout the season.

The 28-year-old played with great maturity with the bat and gave several important breakthroughs with the ball. Irfan Pathan called Hardik an extremely valuable T20 cricketer. Irfan appreciated the six-hitting ability of Hardik.

While speaking on the Star Sports show, Irfan Pathan said, “Hardik Pandya is extremely valuable. He has the ability to finish the game at the death, he can do that batting up the order as well. The management will definitely have this in their mind. The way Hardik bats, he can hit sixes anytime.”

Irfan Pathan appreciated the way Hardik played along the ground in IPL 2022. Irfan Pathan added:

“He also found a way to play along the ground and because of that, his IPL season has been very good as a batter. With him coming in, you don’t have one but three finishers in the team.”


“I am very excited with Hardik coming in ” – Irfan Pathan excited to see Hardik Pandya back in Team India colours

Hardik Pandya is making his comeback to the Indian T20I team. He would be looking to create an immediate impact in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa to seal his spot for T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.

Dinesh Karthik too has been selected as a finisher in the squad. Irfan Pathan in the show said that it would be interesting to see whom India will prefer as Finisher.

“You can talk about Rishabh Pant – he can play the role of a finisher, Dinesh Karthik has been picked as a finisher, it will have to be seen if he gets a place in the XI or not but there are options available. We have tried to fill up the area we have been found slightly wanting in. So I am very excited with him (Hardik’s) coming in,” Irfan Pathan concluded.
