You learn a lot playing with top players, so it has been good till now, hopefully it will continue. It (career) has been really progressive that is what I want as an individual and a professional player. I hope that I continue.”
Hardik has been captaining really well for his IPL side – Ruturaj Gaikwad
Gaikwad was asked about playing under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, who is leading India for the first time in his career, to which he replied by saying that he is excited to play under the leadership of the star all-rounder.
“Hardik has been captaining really well for his IPL side. Excited to play under him in these conditions. It’s challenging (to bat here) but it’s an opportunity to play 20 overs as well,” Gaikwad said.
“Really good to be here (Ireland). Many of them back home come here to play club cricket. Interesting to play in this country. The preparation went really well, just came here to get acclimatized and have a small hit,” he further said.
