Indian Cricket Team is all set to lock horns against Sri Lanka in the T20I Series commencing on 3rd January (Tuesday).  The flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya is named the skipper whereas Suryakumar Yadav surprisingly has been named vice-captain.

The Men in Blue would be keen to make a mark against Sri Lanka. Skipper Hardik Pandya would be well aware of the fact that Sri Lanka has a lot of pinch hitters present in the team who have the knack to change the dynamics of the match quickly.

Shivam Mavi on Hardik Pandya

Shivam Mavi was seen interacting with PTI and was asked about Hardik Pandya. “Hardik Pandya supports every player. He is a great leader. It is very difficult to be the IPL Champions in the first outing but he managed to do it. He led Gujarat Titans from the front and became champions. He is a calm leader but took some bold decisions,” said Shivam Mavi.

“A lot of senior players in the Uttar Pradesh team helped me like Anureet Singh, Parwinder Awana, who is also from Noida.

“They taught me how to bowl, how to to plan out things. It’s a great feeling and a proud moment to represent your country. Shubman & Prithvi made their India debuts before me but I knew it’s all about the right time. Every individual has his or her luck and time,” he added.
