IPL 2022: 'Let it be a surprise', Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya on bowling again

When asked about bowling, the Gujarat Titans' skipper Hardik Pandya said, it is a surprise, and let it be a surprise. The fit-again Indian all-rounder said this during the launch of the new-IPL team's jersey at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Once an indispensable part of the Indian team, Pandya has struggled to keep his place in the Playing XI after his back injury which he suffered in 2019. While he has struggled to bowl, he last played for the Men in Blue during the last year's World T20 competition.

However, donning the new avatar of a skipper, the confident Pandya said that his bowling would be a 'surprise'.
