VVS Laxman Praises, Hardik Pandya’s Leadership Qualities
I believe that T20I cricket requires you to play with freedom, a lot of freedom, and a lot of clarity of thought. Whatever time I have spent with these players and watching them play and grow into international players, I believe that is their strength. Especially in T20I format, you are required to play with that freedom and attitude while also assessing the conditions and situation and fulfilling the needs of the team.
I believe it is also important to be adaptable, but I believe that in t20i cricket, you must express yourself; that is when you will be successful. It is always a challenge to play in New Zealand, and it always has been.

It is not only about the small grounds, but the dimensions here in Wellington or in Auckland, you know it is not a normal cricket grounds, I think the best part of international cricket is you have to adapt to the conditions and to the situation you are playing in, I am sure the bowlers and the fielding unit will adapt to that based on the opposite team’s strengths and weaknesses, You will divide the strategy and execute it perfectly.
I believe it has been an enjoyable ride for me thus far, and when I joined NCA, it was all about giving back to Indian cricket, and this is an opportunity to spend time and share my knowledge and experience with the youngsters, and it has been quite fulfilling. What immediately struck me in Ireland is that these youngsters are very talented, but they also want to learn, improve, and grow as cricketers.
Which is really exciting, and we’ve always said that there’s a lot of bench and a lot of quality in Indian cricket, and it’s great working with these Indian youngsters; I think the thought process and mindset of these youngsters is really exciting for me.
VVS Laxman on Hardik Pandya’s Leadership.
Hardik Pandya is a fantastic leader, and we have seen what he has done for Gujarat in the IPL; someone taking on the leadership role in the first year and winning the cup is an achievement, but what I have observed since Ireland is that he is not only tactically very good but also calm on the field, which is very important.

When you’re playing at the highest level, there will be times when you have to be calm, and as a leader, that’s when you need to be calm, but also his presence in the dressing room, his work ethics and his exemplary, and the way he leads the side both on and off the field is fantastic, and I think he is a players captain, he is very approachable, and all the players go and confide in him, which is something I like about hardik pandya as a captain and he leads with an example both on and off the field.
