Hardik Pandya’s performance as captain in the ongoing IPL 2024 has not been anything special. Let us tell you that in the ongoing IPL, Mumbai became the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race. Mumbai team management had traded Hardik to Gujarat Titans before the start of IPL, and appointed the new captain in place of Rohit. However, this strategy of Mumbai did not work much.

But now Hardik Pandya will not only be seen playing for the Indian cricket team in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, but he has also been made the vice-captain of the team. So now before the start of this tournament, former Australian cricket team’s veteran all-rounder Shane Watson has given a big statement. Watson says that he will have to tighten his belt during the upcoming tournament.

Shane Watson gave a big statement regarding Hardik Pandya

Let us tell you that in the ongoing IPL, Shane Watson said in a discussion with Jio Cinema – I feel that Hardik Pandya will really have to step up and dominate in the last IPL match. The T20 World Cup is not far away and he will have to improve his performance, especially with the bat.

Watson further said- He has a lot to play for. His performance this season has been quite disappointing, but he is a quality player and needs to tighten his belt. He would like to perform brilliantly in front of the domestic cricket fans at his team’s home ground.

On the other hand, if we give you information about the performance of Hardik Pandya in the ongoing season, in the 13 matches played, he has taken 11 wickets at an economy of 10.58 and scored a total of 200 runs at an average of 18.18. Hardik would like to forget this performance and perform brilliantly for Team India in the T20 World Cup.
