So it needs to be seen whether he is a given a chance in the first T20I against the Proteas.
Hardik Pandya impressed all with his captaincy in the Indian Premier League (IPL). As the captain of Gujarat Titans, he led with confidence to take his team to the title in its maiden season in the T20 franchise cricket league. He also performed with the bat and ball. He got together a brand new team and pushed them to perform better each day. GT, under Hardik, finished on top in league stage too with 10 wins. Then they were the first team to qualify for the final and won the title clash against Rajasthan Royals with ease.
Hardik Pandya had a dream Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. He led Gujarat Titans to the title in the franchise's maiden season. Hardik starred both with the bat and ball. He was the top-scorer for Gujarat with a tally of 487 in 15 matches at an average of 44.27. With the ball, Hardik took eight wickets.

India's 2-1 Test series win in Australia in 2020-21 remains one of the major milestones in the country's cricket history. It was not just about the victory but also the way the Ajinkya Rahane-led Team India made a glorious comeback in that series. After the Virat Kohli-led India lost the first Test, the then India captain returned home for the birth of his child. Rahane took over as the stand-in captain and led the team to a brilliant win. India won the second Test in Melbourne and then drew the third Test in Sydney. Despite the absence of several senior players, India won the series decider in Brisbane.
Wriddhiman Saha played a crucial role for Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign. The wicketkeeper-batter scored three half-centuries this season and ended up with a tally of 317 runs in 11 matches at an average of 31.70. Saha was promoted up the order and opened the batting for Gujarat Titans. He did justice to the role and also performed brilliantly behind the stumps. After GT's IPL 2022 final win over Rajasthan Royals, Mohammed Shami paid a big compliment to Saha. The two players have featured together in the Bengal state team, Indian cricket team and now in GT too.
