LSG Captain: Krunal Pandya, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, has won worldwide accolades for leading his team to an astonishing victory over the five-time champion Mumbai Indians. The Indian all-rounder attempts to pick up tips from more seasoned leaders but does not want to copy anybody else.
The Lucknow-based team suffered a catastrophe when crucial captain KL Rahul was forced to withdraw from the upcoming IPL 2023 due to an injury sustained during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, after taking over as the leader, his subordinate Krunal Padya performed admirably.
The LSG interim captain, who contributed well with the bat in a match against the Mumbai Indians, has no desire to emulate any other player. As his captain, Krunal said he wants to be himself in the middle of the pitch and play his natural game.
“Of course, I’ve known that I serve as the team’s vice-captain, and I’ve never altered. I’ve always played cricket the way I want to. In the same manner, I also accepted the captaincy. I’m not trying to be like anyone else.
Yes, I want to pick up nice things from everyone, but I also want to be true to who I am. The likelihood of performing successfully for the team is great if I be authentic and do things my way. During a media interview, Krunal stated, “I’ve played cricket hard and in a specific style, and the same attitude I apply when captaining this squad as well.
We’ve always taken ownership of our actions, and we see this game as a leader: Krunal Pandya
Krunal Pandya added that he and his younger brother Hardik Pandya talk about everything since they have played so much cricket together. Krunal hopes to accomplish the same thing this year as Hardik did when he guided Gujarat Titans to their first IPL championship the previous year. He disclosed that since they were little, both of them have enjoyed taking on responsibility.
“We talk about anything, including cricket, a lot. Regardless of whether we were leaders or not, we always accepted responsibility and played cricket with a certain mindset. As a result, becoming captain is a little bit simpler since you are already familiar with the game and how you can contribute and win games,” he continued.
