Gujarat Titans left arm spinner R Sai Kishore, who was with Chennai Super Kings for the IPL 2022 season, has come to compare Hardik Pandya’s captaincy to that of former India skipper MS Dhoni.
“There are many similarities between the two. Like Dhoni, Hardik has the talent to get the best out of his players. Both put the team first and that’s what you expect from your leader,” Sai Kishore told Times of India. †
“I would call Hardik the junior version of Dhoni,” he added.
Sai Kishore didn’t get a game during his stint with CSK, but made his IPL debut for the Titans this season against Lucknow Super Giants, taking two wickets for just seven runs from his two overs in the game.
He went on to play in every match and even took a wicket in the final.
“It was a great season, but I feel I can do better. I want to keep improving my game in the coming months,” he said, looking back on his performance.
And while he didn’t play for CSK, he praised Dhoni for many of his lessons.
