Indian Premier League 2023: Hardik Pandya Similar To MS Dhoni As Captain, Says R Sai Kishore

NEW DELHI, Mar 24: Having watched both of them from close quarters, Gujarat Titans spinner R Sai Kishore feels that his franchise skipper Hardik Pandya is very similar to legendary MS Dhoni in terms of leadership traits.
Sai Kishore, before joining Gujarat Titans, was with CSK for a couple of years.
"Hardik and Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) are pretty similar in the way they handle things, they both are pretty calm," Sai Kishore told the media during a virtual interaction session on Friday.
One thing that I really admire about Hardik is his ability to handle success and failure equally - that is something very unique about him. He is a level-headed guy and that works (for him)," he added.
The 28-year-old said Gujarat Titans, who won the IPL last year in their debut season, will have to replicate their performances from last season in order to be successful.
"The tag of being defending champions is up to us whether to take it or not. We played well last year and that is why we won. I think if we can do that (then) the tag won't matter much," he said.
Sai Kishore said the new rule of having an 'Impact Player' in IPL will make it more manageable than what it was in domestic circuit.
"It is more like the super-sub rule where we can either use a bowler or a batsman. It is basically like playing with 12 people. We have already played with this (rule) in domestic (cricket). The only change is that we can use it till the 20th over, in domestic it was restricted to the 14th over. In 20 overs, it should be a lot easier to handle," he said.
The Tamil Nadu left-arm spinner said he is eyeing a place in the Indian side via strong performances in the IPL.
"Yes, there are a lot of left-arm spinners in India and this (IPL) is a very good opportunity, but I would like to be here now in the present and play well for Gujarat. In the last five years, my skill set has gone up and I want to keep improving. If it happens that I do very well in the IPL, I am going to play for India," he said.
However, Sai Kishore admitted that he has to improve his batting to come into national reckoning.
"It is a work in progress. I have done well in domestic (cricket) also. I know the areas where I am good at and areas where I need to work on. I am trying to put in hours into my batting and fielding," he said.
"In the IPL and higher you go, you want to bat at the top. In Tamil Nadu, I have had the luxury of batting at the top in a few games. The death overs batting needs more work and attention. Finding a pattern or formula to score quick runs is what I am working on," Sai Kishore concluded.
