IRE vs IND 2022 | Hardik Pandya will motivate others nicely, claims WV Raman
WV Raman has heaped praise on Hardik Pandya, saying the Indian star all-rounder will be motivating his teammates when he takes the field against Ireland for the upcoming T20I series. The former Indian Women's head coach has also remarked Hardik can be incredible when he regains his confidence.
Ever since his return to cricket in IPL 2022, Hardik Pandya has been taking the limelight from everyone more often than not. The star all-rounder did an unthinkable by leading Gujarat Titans to win the lucrative cash-rich league in their debut season, that too on his first assignment as captain at any level. His batting and bowling contributions, along with his on-field decision-making, were equally impressive.
Riding on a successful IPL campaign, Hardik has been chosen as India's captain for the upcoming two-match T20I series against Ireland, taking place in Dublin on June 26 and 28 respectively. WV Raman, the former India women's team head coach, believes the Titans skipper will be the 'excitement of the series' and he will keep motivating the others.
