Hardik was the target of trollers since IPL 2024

Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya was on the target of trollers since IPL 2024. He was being trolled fiercely on social media after being made the captain of Mumbai Indians. Apart from this, his IPL season also did not go well. However, after becoming the T20 World Cup champion, he could not stop his feelings and cried a lot.

After the match, Hardik said, “My last six months have been very bad. I cannot tell you how I spent this time. Even when I wanted to cry, I did not cry. Because I did not want to show it to people. Those who were laughing at me in my difficult times, I did not want to give them more happiness. Whatever my six months have been, look at the grace of God, how I got the opportunity. Such a situation in the last over that I could not even imagine. That’s it! What should I tell you.”

Nothing but massive respect for you, @HardikPandya7!
