The star all-rounder said that becoming India's captain was a proud moment for him, but he never chased the captaincy. He stressed that leadership is not about having a title because a player can guide and inspire the team even without having the captain's tag.
As he gears up to make a comeback after missing the Afghanistan, Ireland, England, and Zimbabwe series, Hardik Pandya shared that becoming India's captain was a proud and special moment, but he didn't let it change his mindset. He enjoyed the title for a few minutes, but he doesn't become too attached to the captaincy because this is the temporary thing.
He continued, “Very fortunate and grateful. I never played for that. But it's a dream of everyone who starts the journey to just play for India, but captaining is another honor. But that feeling was only for five minutes. After that, it was about thinking about what we can do better. I loved the moment for five minutes and cherished it. I don't keep all these things too close, as it can go anytime.”
