AHMEDABAD, India, May 07 (AFP): Hardik and Krunal Pandya hugged and joked Sunday as they made history by becoming the first brothers to captain two opposing sides in an Indian Premier League match.
"It's a dream come true for us, leading our respective sides," elder brother Krunal Pandya, 32, skipper of Lucknow Super Giants, said after winning the toss in Ahmedabad.
But he added: "Once we go into the field, the game face will be on."
Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya, 29, adjusted his big brother's hat and also told the host, who called it wrong, that the coin fell in Krunal's favour.
