In an interview with Bengali daily Anandabazar Patrika, Saha said that Pandya showed faith in the players who were released by different franchises and he wasn't getting a chance in the beginning but GT's captain gave him the responsibility as an opener which resulted in Saha's getting back his confidence.

The Siliguri-born cricketer who went unsold on day 1 of IPL mega auction 2022 had missed the first five matches in the IPL 2022 and scored 317 runs in just 11 matches for Gujarat Titans including 3 half centuries.

The 37-year old batter further added that Hardik knows his job to stay connected with everyone and he has changed a lot recently. He is now cool and always shows faith in everyone.
