IND vs SL: "Hardik Pandya And Deepti Sharma Will Be The Biggest Takeaways For Indian Cricket From 2022": Anjum Chopra

Anjum Chopra, a former captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, asserted that one of the most important learnings by the Indian men’s cricket team for the 2022 season was Hardik Pandya’s remarkable transformation from a match-winning cricketer to an inspirational leader.

The cricket player from Baroda was instrumental in leading Gujarat Titans to their first IPL victory during his first season as captain of the competition. In the cash-rich league, Hardik led by example for his squad.

The all-rounder led the Indian team to victory in the T20I series against Ireland, the West Indies, and New Zealand by maintaining his playing and captaincy form.

Anjum Chopra also cited the growth of Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma as one of the Women in Blue’s biggest successes in the previous year in an exclusive interview with MyKhel.

She is a right-arm off-break bowler who bats left-handed and is presently ranked fourth among all-rounders in the ICC Cricket Rankings. Additionally, Deepti Sharma currently holds the third-highest individual score for a female cricketer in ODIs (188 runs).

“There have been quite a few takeaways for India”: Anjum Chopra

Anjum Chopra, a former captain of India’s women’s cricket team, praised Hardik Pandya and Deepti Sharma for making a remarkable transition from match-winning players.

“Performing consistently for a team throughout the year is a big thing. There have been quite a few takeaways for India in the white-ball format. For Hardik Pandya in the men’s cricket team, it has been a fantastic year as he could perform so well to full fitness or near to full fitness in the IPL and later in the T20 World Cup” Anjum Chopra said.

“In the women’s cricket team, I think Deepti Sharma did exceedingly well. Young Anjali Sarvani doing so well against Australia Women in the T20Is in her maiden India call-up was also a big takeaway. We need to look at where you were before the start of the year and where you end it as a player and as a team, and I think there were plenty of positives for Indian cricket in this regard” Anjum Chopra Added.

Sri Lanka’s men’s cricket squad will go to India in early January 2023 for a limited-overs bilateral series as their first duty of the new year. India and Sri Lanka will play three T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals.
