In the professional realm of the IPL, Pandya’s transition from leading the Titans to joining the Mumbai Indians, where he initially made his mark, exemplifies the dynamic nature of the league.
Furthermore, this tournament marks Pandya’s return from a ‘freak’ ankle injury sustained during the middle of the ODI World Cup in October.
With Pandya’s departure, the Titans will now be under the leadership of Shubman Gill, who assumes the role with limited experience in captaincy. Gill, the highest run-scorer last season, will be entrusted with the task, and the franchise hopes that his batting prowess remains unaffected by the added responsibility.
