Gujarat Titan’s crowned as the new champions of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. After winning the title, skipper Hardik Pandya said he wants to win the Twenty20 World Cup with India.
Pandya claimed three crucial wickets, including that of the tournament's leading scorer Jos Buttler, to restrict Rajasthan to a total which Gujarat chased down with 11 balls to spare.
"Absolutely to win the World Cup for India no matter what happens. I am going to give it everything I have. Always been that kind of guy to put the team first. For me the goal will be simple: to make sure my team gets it the most,”
"It has always been a pleasure for me to represent the country ... Long term, short term, I want to win the World Cup no matter what happens."
Pandya won five IPL titles, four with Mumbai Indians before taking up the leadership role at Gujarat. The 28-year-old said his fifth trophy as captain was the special one for him.
"Obviously this will be a little special because I have won it as a captain. I consider myself very lucky that I have played five finals and have lifted the trophy five times,”
"Obviously this will leave a legacy because we are a new franchise, playing for the first time, and we are champions in the first season,"
