Hardik Pandya’s departure is not such a big loss for GT: Brad Hogg
Brad Hogg said in a video shared on his YouTube channel: “I really don’t think Hardik Pandya’s departure is that big a loss for GT. Yes, it is true that he is a brilliant all-rounder in the middle-order, but Gujarat can cover that up. There is a lot of depth in their bowling unit.”
The Australian legend further said, “He used to bat at the top of the order, but I don’t think he was the best fit there, so Gujarat Titans are a better team without him. Yes, but it is better for Mumbai to have an Indian all-rounder bat in the lower middle order and I think Hardik will bat there. I think we will see Hardik at his best with Mumbai Indians.”
