During a conversation with Sportskeeda, Gautam Gambhir said, “T20 is a format where if you score 25 runs in 10 balls or take two wickets in a row, everything comes back. Also, there will be no captaincy pressure on Hardik Pandya in the T20 World Cup. Therefore, there he will play with complete freedom. It is very easy to sit in an AC room and say that he has not performed well.” Gambhir also believes that even if Hardik had scored 500 runs in IPL 2024, he would have faced criticism. They said that, “There are many factors that go into a player’s good performance. There is pressure of captaincy and team performance.

The star all-rounder has scored only 200 runs in 12 innings and has taken 11 wickets in the same innings at an economy rate of 10.58.
