Hope to Receive Fans Love: MI Captain Hardik

India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya said that in the past few months, the wheel of time has completely turned 360 degrees for him, but he remained on the field due to his determination not to give up in difficult situations. Last year, after being appointed as the captain of Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Hardik faced the displeasure of the fans.

However, he later played a crucial role in India’s victories in the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy. Now, as he prepares for the next season of the IPL, the all-rounder hopes to receive the love of Mumbai Indians’ fans this time.

Ahead of the upcoming IPL season starting on March 22, Hardik told Jio Hotstar, “I never give up. There have been phases in my career when my focus was more on staying in the game rather than just winning.” He further said, “I realized that no matter what happens to me, cricket will always remain my true friend.”
