Hardik Pandya was appointed as the captain of the franchise and the team lacked big names in the batting department. Hence, to say that this team would reach the final was a hard pill to digest at that time.

As it turned out, Hardik Pandya and Co. topped the table at the end of the league stage and also became the first team to reach the final. Recently, spin all-rounder, Rahul Tewatia revealed the reason behind Gujarat’s success this season.

“Our team is not dependent on one player but the entire team performs and that’s what sets us apart. The team atmosphere is very relaxed and chilled and that’s what has helped us perform like this.” Rahul Tewatia said in an exclusive interview with Times Now.
