Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya was one of the highest-paid cricketers in the IPL 2023 season, with his bid in the IPL 2023 auction being over Rs 15 crore. Pandya was retained as the captain of GT, which faced Chennai Super Kings in the finals last night.

Pandya debuted in the Indian Premier League in 2015 and started playing for Sachin Tendulkar’s team Mumbai Indians, where he impressed all with his stellar performance. In 2021, he exited the team and was made the captain of the newly-formed Gujarat Titans in 2022, being retained in the team for IPL 2023.
