Injury-ravaged India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has got the all clear to lead Gujarat Titans in the upcoming IPL after a general assessment at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru where he bowled and also passed the ‘Yo-Yo’ Test comfortably.

The BCCI is checking on all its centrally contracted players injured or otherwise before the IPL and Pandya’s performance, during his two days at the NCA, can also be seen as a good sign for Indian cricket. “Let’s make it clear. Fitness test clearance is only for those who are coming back from injury.

In fact, in his fitness assessment module, the NCA team didn’t even mandate him to bowl but the all-rounder apparently “insisted” on it to show that he is on track to make a comeback into the Indian team. “He didn’t need to bowl at NCA but he has bowled for considerable time and in the range of 135 kmph. On the second day, he crossed the Yo-Yo test with flying colours with a 17-plus score which is much above the cut-off level,” the source said.

The Gujarat Titans have been placed in Group B for the upcoming IPL season, which means they take on Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants (their counterparts from Group A) twice along with playing Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals once each in the league phase of the tournament, as per the new format which will see a total of 74 matches (including the knockouts) being played.
