He made his Indian Premier League debut in 2015 and has been part of the same team since then. However, while choosing the skipper for his team, Hardik opted for the former Indian captain and Chennai Super king’s skipper MS Dhoni. MS is considered as one of the most successful captains in the history of the game.
