Gavaskar in a column for TOI wrote: “The first month of the new year is all about white-ball cricket. India have a new T20 captain and whatever noise might be coming from various camps, the earlier it is accepted that he is going to be the man in charge the better it will be for Indian cricket.”
“Hardik Pandya brings a wholesome, exciting, dashing and winning approach to the game which is contagious. Yes, the format can lead to the odd unexpected loss, but it won’t be demoralising as Pandya has a wonderful way of lifting the team up.”
“Sri Lanka are tough opponents and they will be match fit after the recent conclusion of their own T20 league. They have some terrific players who are game changers and India know they have a fight on their hands. Rishab Pant’s unfortunate accident is a big blow and here’s wishing him a speedy recovery. Also, wishing all the readers get another year full of sporting memories to cherish.”

Redemption of Hardik Pandya
Following India’s shock exit in the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Hardik stayed out of action until the 2022 IPL season.
The break turned the star India all-rounder’s setbacks into memorable comebacks. Not only did he lead the newest IPL franchise Gujarat Titans to glory, but he also produced sensational performances for India in international cricket.

The followers of Indian cricket got more than a glimpse of Hardik’s vision for the team when he led the team to victory in the rain-hit T20 series in New Zealand.
In an ODI World Cup year, the shortest format is not priority for the Indian team but the series will allow Hardik to start planning for the future, specifically the 2024 T20 World Cup.
