Hardik Pandya, the captain of Gujarat Titans, has always been very vocal about his relationship with former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The duo share a special bond, and Pandya has always considered Dhoni as an idol. He has been a fan of the Chennai Super Kings skipper, and has also reflected upon the learnings.
Pandya, as a captain, is pretty calm. He likes to keep things simple, and he does not show aggression on the field often, traits that are seen in ‘captain cool’ MS Dhoni.
Gujarat Titans shared a video of Pandya speaking in depth about his relationship with Dhoni where he said that he has always seen MSD as a friend, as a brother and also went on to say that only a proper devil can hate the 41-year-old.
“A lot of people think Mahi is serious and all that. For me, I crack jokes and I don’t see him as Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Obviously, I have learned a lot of things from him, a lot of positive things, which I have learned from him just while watching, not even much talking. But for me, he is just my dear friend, dear brother, who I do pranks, who I chill, and I will always be a Mahendra Singh Dhoni fan and for so many fans out there and so many cricket lovers. You need to be a proper devil to hate Mahendra Singh Dhoni,” Pandya said.
