Hardik Pandya played for MI from 2015-2021.
Recently during an interaction with 'JioCinema' hosted by former CSK cricketer Robin Uthappa at the sidelines of IPL 2023, Hardik Pandya talked about his key learnings following the Chennai franchise's ways in handling their players was how they created and sustained a good environment, which ultimately brought the best out of the players.
Pandya said CSK haven't had the best personnel on the park but have always found means to extract the best output from them.

Hardik Pandya, who played for MI and participated in their multiple championship victories, claimed to have understood the five-time champions' strategy of selecting the finest players and coaches and then fostering an environment in which they could perform at their peak.
"There are two kinds of success (ways) you can get. One is get the bestest people possible, from A to B, which I felt MI had.. those years where we won. Or, have the best environment possible for you to win, which has been the CSK type where no matter who the players are, they find the comfort and the team get the best out of them. That was more inspiring for me to get, not the best players, but the best environment," stressed the Titans skipper.
