"I Might Be Captain, But No Hierarchy In Gujarat Titans": Hardik Pandya

There's no hierarchy in a team of equals and that has precisely been the success mantra for Gujarat Titans, said ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has taken to captaincy like fish takes to water in new franchise's inception year. Out-of-favour and struggling with his back injury since his T20 World Cup appearance in UAE last year, Pandya's elevation to captaincy for the new franchise had raised a few eyebrows ahead of the season. But the Titans have turned heads with eight wins from nine matches, five of them coming in a row after their Saturday's six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore to virtually seal their playoff berth in their inception year.

Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson wins captains’ duel with Jonjo Shelvey

What is talent? There is a tendency to prioritise what looks good over what works, to be wowed by a player with grace rather than somebody effective, to rave about a footballer who can swoop by another with a sway of the hips or in a blur of feet, or who can caress a shot into the top corner, and to be slightly dismissive of those whose game seems based on graft, who have through dedication and focus made the most of their gifts.
