Hardik Pandya Biography

Hardik Pandya is easily recognisable with his tattoos and blonde streaks in his hair. The all-rounder was first noticed in the cricket circles, courtesy the Indian Premier League.

Hardik Pandya possesses a swashbuckling ability to strike the ball hard. Add to that, exceptional fielding, and clever bowling, and that encapsulates him. He can withstand pressure and excels in crunch time.

Hardik Pandya played a crucial role in the Mumbai Indians' second title win. He was even touted as the first fast-bowling all-rounder since Kapil Dev.

His all-round skills caught several eyeballs during the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament. Hardik Pandya was soon rewarded handsomely, namely a berth in India's ODI squad against New Zealand in 2016.

The all-rounder provides a sense of balance to the side. After a difficult 2018, Pandya has matured a little. However, he undid all that when he was the subject of controversy. Pandya and teammate KL Rahul, were called out for misogynistic comments. The two were promptly suspended by the BCCI for poor conduct and tarnishing the image of Indian cricket.

IPL Career

Hardik Pandya made his IPL debut in 2015 with the Mumbai Indians. The 25-year old has remained with the side ever since and also became a favourite of coach Ricky Ponting. In his maiden IPL game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, he smashed a six in just his second ball. He soon carved a name for himself when he guided Mumbai to victory against CSK when they needed 30 from 2 overs.

IPL 2019 Expectations

Now, in IPL 2019, he enters into his fifth season with the Mumbai Indians. Pandya is recognised as one of the vital cogs that is keeping the well-oiled machine running smoothly.

He has a highest score of 61* and a strike rate of 145.27. On the bowling front, Hardik Pandya has amassed 35 wickets with best figures of 3 wickets and 20 runs. However, his economy is something left wanting with a 9.18.

Profile

Virat Kohli has had an impressive career since making his debut in the Indian team in 2008. He first broke into the national side in ODIs, soon followed by a 2010 debut in T20s and a Test debut in 2011.

Since then, his rise has been meteoric and he eventually took the mantle of India captain from MS Dhoni. ODI captaincy was up first in 2013, followed by Test captaincy when MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2014. Finally, Virat Kohli was appointed T20 skipper in 2017.

IPL Career

Virat Kohli made his IPL debut back in 2008 itself for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, he has remained in the team all these years.

After an average debut season, his form picked up in subsequent years. For two straight seasons, he was in the top 3 of highest run-scorers in IPL.

In 2011, he was promoted to vice captain and even took over as skipper when regular, Daniel Vettori was injured. When the latter retired in 2013, Kohli took the mantle of RCB captain, and has led the side ever since.

Now, for IPL 2019, Virat Kohli heads into the new season as the captain once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to expectations, there is a lot of pressure on the team. For years, they have always been so close and yet so far. On paper, RCB have had the strongest batting line-up of all other teams, yet, they have failed to deliver time and again.

Between 2011 and 2017, RCB boasted of the deadliest batting line-up. To be precise, joining Virat Kohli was South Africa's AB de Villiers and West Indian giant, Chris Gayle.

Inspite of this, and Gayle smashing a few centuries here and there, RCB almost always bottled the job.

So, will the 2019 season be any different? Can captain Virat Kohli inspire his men to rally forth into victory? Or will Virat Kohli and the RCB squad succumb to defeat yet again, as was the case all these years?
