However, the focus for him is currently his IPL team. In his post-match presentation, Pandya said that his performance in IPL matters more and added that he will see where the future takes him. The Baroda-based cricketer said that his India selection is not in his hands, his team's performance is, so he will only focus on that.

Titans are sitting at the top spot in the IPL points table with 6 wins out of 7 matches so far.
