“Success is their but failure in mine”: Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya
As Nehra will coach the team, Pandya shared some thoughts on him.
“I don’t expect him to come on white board with a lot of ideas. One thing is very clear with him that he lets the players decide what they want to do. He gives the freedom to enjoy the game. You make mistakes but eventually you learn from them. I’m very excited to get associated with him and spend quality time with him because everybody knows he is the funniest guy you can meet.”
The 28-year-old also spoke about this mindset on leading the team. “Our goal will be to make sure that our players are comfortable and whatever capacity we can help them out. Clarity and honesty have to be there. We know, when a player goes through a good time, he doesn’t need any of us. But there will be difficult days in the season. So, we’ll make sure that when the difficult days are going on, we’ll be there for them no matter what. My philosophy for this season is ‘success is their but failure is mine.” Pandya said.
