Hardik’s performance as a player and captain in IPL 2024 was disappointing. Ian Bishop and Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop has made a big statement about Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Bishop says that he is a strong person and has moved on from the setback of IPL 2024. It is worth noting that Hardik Pandya had to face a lot of criticism in IPL 2024. At the same time, his performance as a captain and player was disappointing. Mumbai won 4 out of 14 matches played in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik, while they had to face defeat in 10 matches. The team finished last in the points table. So, Hardik Pandya’s performance as a player was also not very special. Hardik scored a total of 216 runs in 14 matches played at an average of just 18. However, now he is present with the Indian cricket team for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. So, if the Indian team has to perform well in the T20 World Cup, then Hardik’s performance is very important. On the other hand, this statement given by Bishop must have definitely boosted Hardik’s confidence. Ian Bishop made a big statement about Hardik Pandya Let us tell you that during the ongoing T20 World Cup, Ian Bishop said about Hardik Pandya as quoted by India Today – I think he is a person with a very strong personality. I would like to think that the other members of the team would have united around him and are helping him gain confidence. What happened to him during the IPL did not happen because of him. Bishop further said- So, I want the fans to look at it from a different perspective. Fans have the right to express their opinion, and they can express their opinion as they see fit. I am sure that he has reached the biggest stage of international cricket and his full picture is in front of us. He is a strong person.

Team India has a batting line-up full of experience and is brilliant. Left-right hand pair at the top in the opening, and then Virat Kohli at number 3. Hayden further said- Rohit Sharma is present with the team as a leader. He has gone through many such tournaments before. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are strong selections.

Hayden further said about the strength of Team India- The Indian team has world class batsmen and they try to do something new. When you look at the Indian team, you think about Suryakumar Yadav, you think about Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rishabh Pant will be the X factor in the T20 World Cup, which is a big bonus for the team.

Kumble further said- You cannot get better preparation for the T20 World Cup than playing in the IPL. You play 14 or 16-17 quality matches in this tournament. Therefore, you cannot get better preparation than this tournament. You have played pressure-filled matches in this. By looking at the play of the players here, you will get an idea of where the World Cup is going.
