The 24-year-old also suggested that he is the best captain that he has played under so far in his career.

Speaking about Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, Yash Dayal said:

Hardik Pandya’s captaincy in IPL 2022 earned praise from fans and experts alike. He contributed significantly with both bat and ball throughout the season and led his side to the prestigious title in stunning fashion.

It is worth mentioning that he has been appointed as the captain of Team India for the upcoming two-match T20I series against Ireland.

Dayal further explained how he had the support of GT head coach Ashish Nehra in IPL 2022. He mentioned that the former cricketer taught him the importance of sticking to the basics rather than trying too many different things.

Yash added that Nehra helped him perfect the seam and wrist position for in-swing and out-swing. The youngster also highlighted that the ex-pacer also guided him in preparing plans for different situations.

Yash Dayal explained:

The left-armer was picked up by the Gujarat-based franchise for ₹3.20 crore at the IPL 2022 auction. He featured in nine games for the franchise in the latest edition and bagged 11 wickets.
