Sreesanth details how Hardik Pandya leaving Gujarat Titans could work to their advantage | Cricket News
Former India seamer S Sreesanth says Hardik Pandya’s departure from the Gujarat Titans will give their bowlers more freedom in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Sreesanth was referring to last year’s final where Pandya’s long discussion with Mohit Sharma affected bowler’s concentration, and he was hit for a six and a four by Ravindra Jadeja off the last two balls. Chennai Super Kings had pipped Gujarat Titans by five wickets in a rain-affected final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. “There is no Hardik in Gujarat to tell the bowlers what to bowl,” Sreesanth said on Fancode. “Sometimes you need to give the bowler that freedom to bowl. This time the captain is Gill, and I’m sure Ashish bhai (Ashish Nehra) will say let them bowl. Bowlers will also take responsibility with a young captain and sometimes, this is the advantage of having a young captain,” Sreesanth said.
