Champions trophy: Hardik Pandya had to take responsibility for bowling with a new ball in the Champions Trophy in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and the all -rounder said that his natural abilities to struggle helped him to get into a new role.
However, Pandya did not have much weight in the tournament as India mainly bowled with four spinners. Pandya bowled only 24.3 overs in five matches and took four wickets. Pandya said in the mixed zone after India’s title win, “Bowling does his own work. This year was full of learning and challenges. My mindset never taught me to run away from challenges. I have always believed that if the challenges are difficult, then face it firmly.
He said, “If you do not leave the field, then you have a chance.” Pandya said that he is working hard to perform well. He said, “I have always been confident in myself that I can do it. And at the same time, the hard work behind the curtain brings color. I always believe that the way you prepare, you will be able to show it in the game too. ”
Jeet in this prestigious competition of the International Cricket Council also helped Pandya to eradicate the bitter memories of India’s defeat to Pakistan in the 2017 tournament. Pandya said, “I can say that today an incomplete dream is fulfilled. But eight years are a very long time. A lot of life happened in eight years. But to win as well, and that too for India, it is very important for me. ”
