Actually Hardik Pandya was on the target of trolls since IPL 2024. Pandya was made the captain of Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy of Mumbai. After this, Pandya was trolled a lot. The last IPL season was not good for him either. But after winning the final of T20 World Cup 2024, he could not stop himself and was very happy.
Hardik said after the match, “My six months were very bad. I cannot say how I spent these months. Even when I had to cry, I did not cry. Because I did not want to show it to people. Those who were happy in my difficult times, I did not want to give them more happiness. Whatever my six months passed, today God gave me such an opportunity that I got the last over.”
