Hardik Pandya: Team India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is in Dubai for the Champions Trophy. There he is currently practicing with the players of Team India. But in the meantime, a big good news has come for Pandya and his fans. Before India starts its campaign against Bangladesh in this tournament on February 20, a big update has come regarding Hardik getting the captaincy, which is no less than good news for him.
