Aakash Chopra commends Hardik Pandya's growing and maturing captaincy skills ahead of Gujarat Titans' match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Hardik Pandya’s captaincy skills are on the rise and maturing, according to former cricketer Aakash Chopra. After a triumphant win over Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans are set to face off against Kolkata Knight Riders.

In contrast, the Kolkata Knight Riders are struggling, currently languishing in 8th position in the points table with five defeats from seven matches. They are yet to perform up to their credentials since beating the Titans previously. On the other hand, the Titans seem to have no significant weaknesses in their team, with Shubman Gill and David Miller dictating the terms.
