Ahead of their clash against last year's finalists, Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC) all-rounder Sumit Kumar revealed his role model on Tuesday.

DC will take on GT in their upcoming match of the IPL 2024 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

The Haryana-born cricketer said that Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya is his role model. The cricketer further said that he tries to play the same role that Pandya does.

"My role model is Hardik Pandya. I have been following him for some time, and the way he bats lower down the order, I resemble myself. The way he finishes the match, I try to emulate the same role and help my team," Sumit Kumar said in a video posted by the Capitals.
