Hardik Pandya’s Emotional Journey to T20 World Cup Victory
Hardik Pandya, India’s star all-rounder, was in tears after India won the T20 World Cup. He opened up about the challenging six months leading up to the event, during which he remained silent and focused despite facing harsh criticism and social media backlash during the IPL 2024.
Pandya, who returned to Mumbai Indians after a stint with Gujarat Titans, faced massive backlash for replacing Rohit Sharma as captain. Despite being booed in stadiums, he remained calm and believed in his team’s ability to win.

Pandya expressed his happiness for the team and departing head coach Rahul Dravid, highlighting the hard work and belief that led to their success.
The stadium was filled with excitement as Indian players celebrated their victory, while South Africa faced another heartbreak.
