Want to help India win the World Cup: Hardik Pandya

Currently playing in the Indian Premier League, Hardik Pandya has set high standards for himself so far. He has been hitting the balls really well. His whopping six against RCB which went out of the park spoke huge volumes about his batting rhythm. Pandya hit 3 whopping sixes against CSK to his 8-ball 25 run knock besides spicing it up with a four.

After putting on a show with the bat, he picked three wickets (MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Deepak Chahar) to his name in his four-over spell, giving away just 20 runs. His all-round exploits created a huge difference for Mumbai Indians who snatched up their first win at home this season. CSK, on the other hand, lost their first game this season.

Talking about his match-winning performance, showman Hardik Pandya feels good to help his team win by doing his bit. It’s been a long time since he played some competitive game. He ran through tough times as he met with an injury and followed by the controversy which kept him out of the game for a long time.





I’m hitting the balls really well: Hardik

However, he recovered from injury and then took time to practice his batting at the nets. “It feels really good to help the team win and to contribute to it. It’s been seven months since I played much competitive cricket. Have batted and batted and batted in the nets,” Hardik said after receiving the man of the match award at the post-match presentation.

According to him, he is in good shape at the moment. “I am someone who loves to have game time and I am hitting them really well at the moment. Yes the injury happened and then the controversy too. These seven months weren’t easy and I wasn’t sure of what to do,” he added.

Last but not least, he dedicated this award to those who stood by him in tough situations and also revealed his goal of winning the world cup for India. “This award is special and I dedicate it to all those who stood by me during those tough times. My goal is to keep performing and hopefully, help India win the World Cup,” Hardik Pandya added.
