India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has called his Mumbai Indians (MI) teammate Kieron Pollard a `Gujarati` by heart and said the West Indies limited-overs skipper functions like an `Indian guy`.
"We call him grandpa. He is from West Indies but he is actually a Gujarati at heart. He literally functions like an Indian: a guy who believes in property, a guy who believes in investments, a guy who believes: instead of buying a car, I`ll buy property because it will grow, Ek rupiah Nahin waste karoonga [I won`t waste a rupee]," said Hardik Pandya to ESPNcricinfo.
