Hardik Pandya is enjoying his holidays amidst the mountains, video went viral on social media

Hardik Pandya did not play the ODI series against Sri Lanka due to personal reasons. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: Hardik Pandya/Instagram) Indian star all-rounder Hardik Pandya was recently seen playing in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. India won the series 3-0 under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. After this series, Hardik Pandya was ruled out of the three-match ODI series due to personal reasons. Taking a break from cricket, Hardik Pandya is currently enjoying his holidays. Meanwhile, the all-rounder has shared a video on social media, in which he is enjoying a special morning surrounded by mountains. In the video, Hardik is seen walking along the edge of the swimming pool. Watch the video shared by Hardik Pandya here- Did Hardik Pandya betray Natasha? Hardik Pandya and Natasha Stankovic decided to separate last month, ending their four-year relationship. The news of their divorce was going on social media for a long time. On one hand, fans were supporting Hardik fiercely. On the other hand, Natasha was being trolled by calling her a gold digger and many bad things. Recently, Natasha has liked a post on social media, due to which she has come into the headlines. Actually this post is related to cheating, after which fans feel that Hardik has cheated Natasha. Hardik performed brilliantly in T20 World Cup 2024 Hardik Pandya had to face a lot of criticism while captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. But then the all-rounder gave a befitting reply to the trollers by performing brilliantly with both ball and bat in the T20 World Cup 2024. Hardik Pandya played the biggest role in the team’s victory by defending 16 runs while bowling the last over against South Africa in the final match. Hardik scored 144 runs in the tournament with the bat at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 151.57. While bowling, he took 11 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 17.36.

“He should play whatever T20 cricket there is”- Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness

Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness. He has asked Pandya to focus especially on bowling fitness. 30-year-old Hardik has had to struggle with injuries many times in his 8-year career. Last year, Hardik had to be out of the ODI World Cup midway due to an ankle injury. At the same time, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar also cited Hardik’s fitness as the reason behind removing him from the T20 captaincy. In a conversation with ICC, Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya that he should play as many T20s as possible to make a comeback in the ODI team. Shastri said, “In my opinion, it is very important that he continues to play. I believe that match fitness is important. So he should play as much T20 cricket as possible. And if he is fit and feeling better, then he should also come in the ODI team.” Meanwhile, Shastri also stressed on Pandya bowling his full quota of overs in ODI cricket. He said, “If you have a player who is bowling only 3-4 overs instead of 10 overs in ODIs, it disturbs the balance of the team. If you bowl 7-8 overs in most of the matches and the way Pandya bats, it becomes a bonus for the team.” Hardik was sidelined from Test cricket in 2018 due to a back injury. He recovered without surgery and was included in the 2019 ODI World Cup squad, but the injury resurfaced later that year and he had to undergo surgery that year. He later returned to the field in 2021, but was included in the T20 World Cup squad only as a batsman, which cost the Indian team dearly. More recently, Hardik suffered an ankle injury during India’s fourth game in the ODI World Cup last year, which kept him away from cricket for a long time. He then returned as captain in IPL 2024 but his performance this season was very poor. He made a brilliant comeback in the T20 World Cup last month with a brilliant all-round performance, including the final match, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and then David Miller in the death overs to guide the team to victory.

“I am not surprised…”- Ashish Nehra said on Hardik Pandya not getting the captaincy

Ashish Nehra and Hardik Pandya. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India fast bowler and Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra said that he is not surprised by the Indian team management’s decision not to appoint Hardik Pandya as the new T20 captain. Nehra said that he understands the thinking of chief selector Ajit Agarkar and newly appointed coach Gautam Gambhir in choosing Suryakumar Yadav as the new T20 captain. Hardik Pandya, who will lead India in T20 in 2023, was Rohit Sharma’s deputy in the victorious World Cup campaign in the USA and West Indies in June. While Hardik was expected to replace Rohit as T20 captain, later after Rohit’s retirement from T20, the BCCI announced Suryakumar as the new T20 captain for the upcoming three-match series in Sri Lanka. Ashish Nehra is not surprised by Hardik Pandya not being made captain Regarding Hardik not being made the captain, Ashish Nehra said, “No, I am not surprised. When it comes to cricket, such things keep happening. Yes, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain in the World Cup, but at the same time, a new coach has also come. Every coach and every captain has different ideas. At this time, his (Gambhir’s) ideas are in the same direction.” The former Indian fast bowler further said, “I think Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir have made it clear, it is good. He is a format game There have been fewer ODIs game Hardik Pandya will continue to be a very important player for Indian cricket in white-ball cricket. When you have him, you can have 4 fast bowlers. He brings a different balance to the team and keep in mind, there is no more dominant player in international cricket. Not just Hardik Pandya, but when you have so many matches, there are changes. Even Rishabh Pant has captained, KL Rahul has also captained.

Whatmore further said – But recently I have seen that BCCI wants cricketers to play in the other two formats along with Ranji Trophy, to ensure that they are watching cricket as cricket.
