The new team selected generalist Pandya as their first-round pick, followed by Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill. Additionally, they hired former Indian striker Ashsh Nehra as their head coach.

Hogg, speaking about Pandya’s captain in a video on his YouTube channel, quipped that he is very similar to former India captain Virat Kohli and can be a good captain.

Talking about Nehra and Pandya’s partnership, Hogg believes that while he’s happy to see the two work together, he’d like to see the former curb a habit of his.

“Hardik Pandya and Ashish Nehra are both exciting figures in Ahmedabad. When they have a team together, they have to understand and also have different personalities. Don’t give 100 pieces of advice to the highest scoring bowler, ‘ Hogg explained.
