I will be more than happy to captain India: Hardik Pandya

LAUDERHILL (FLORIDA): After captaining India to a mammoth 88-run victory over West Indies in the fifth and final T20I, all-rounder Hardik Pandya stated that he is open to a full-time leadership role in the national side in future. Pandya had captained Gujarat Titans to IPL 2022 title in their maiden appearance in the league and also led India to 2-0 T20I series win over Ireland in June.

"Yeah! why not? If I get an opportunity in the future, I'll be more than happy to do that, but right now we have the World Cup, and we have the Asia Cup (starting from August 27). We're going to focus on that and make sure as a team what we're doing, we continue (with that) and make sure that all the skillsets, which we are learning we can keep getting better at it, and at the same point of time enjoy the game as well."
