‘Pandya is a bit like Kohli’: Ex-Australia spinner makes tall claim
Since the Ahmedabad Indian Premier League (IPL) team announced their selection of Hardik Pandya as captain for the upcoming IPL 2022 season, the cricket fraternity has been busy and understands the decision. The latest to join the discussion is former Australian spinner Brad Hogg.
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.
“Pandya can be a really good captain because he’s a bit like Kohli. He wants to go there and dominate. His body language says, ‘I’m here to beat you,’” he said.
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.
“Trust the players. When Nehra was an assistant coach at RCB, he was always on the edge of the ropes giving advice and I didn’t like what I saw there. He liked
“I think they will do well. Both are fairly inexperienced in their roles, which could be a problem for Ahmedabad. Pandya under Flower and Rahul under Neh Captaining under Ra’s leadership will be the balance of experience there.”

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
