In the Indian Premier League 2024, experienced all-rounder of the Indian team Hardik Pandya captained the Mumbai Indians. However, the performance of Mumbai Indians was very poor in the IPL season and the team was at the bottom of the points table this season. In this great tournament, Hardik Pandya could not leave his mark in captaincy as well as batting and bowling.

However, now the entire focus of the experienced all-rounder will be on the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Hardik Pandya has also been included in the Indian team for this important tournament. Not only this, Hardik Pandya has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Hardik’s performance was very good in the warm-up match against Bangladesh but at present he is going through a very difficult phase in his cricketing career. Former player Navjot Singh Sidhu has supported Hardik Pandya and praised him fiercely.

Navjot Singh Sidhu said on Star Sports, ‘There were many questions on Hardik Pandya but now all are gone. The more you try to bring Hardik down, the more he will shine. Pandya is like a diamond, the more he is rubbed, the more he will shine. This is the quality of a great all-rounder.’

I believe you should stand till the end in the fight: Hardik Pandya

Talking about his bad times, Hardik Pandya said, ‘I believe that it is very important to stand up for the fight. Sometimes life puts you in a situation where you have to face a lot of problems. I believe that if you leave the game or the field, then you will not get the fight you need to fight and the result you want.’

The Indian team has to play its first match of this important tournament against Ireland on June 5. Hardik Pandya will definitely want to leave his mark in this match. Not only this, after this the Indian team will play a match against Pakistan on June 9. Hardik Pandya has shown his amazing performance in the warm-up match, now it remains to be seen how his performance is in the group stage?
