Hardik Pandya Redemption Arc Ft. 2024
The cricketer from Gujarat saw an adventurous series of events in 2024, as ever since being named the skipper of Mumbai Indians, the anguish and abuse from the fans on and off the pitch came in bulk amount and that affected his performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, as then joint-most successful franchise in the history of the league finished bottom of the table.
The all-rounder's selection in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad was heavily questioned and fans lashed out their anger on Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials for naming Hardik Pandya as the vice-captain of the side.
Fast forward a few months, and now in the month of July, Hardik Pandya, for all the hardships and adversities he faced in professional and personal life, has seen a 180 degree U-Turn in his fortunes, as the 30-year old has once again become a fan favourite.
Hardik Pandya's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign was a brilliant one, as the right-handed all-rounder scored 144 runs in 6 innings, at a blistering strike rate of 151.88 and a highly impressive average of 48.
With the ball, Hardik grabbed 11 wickets in 8 innings, at an economy rate of 7.64 and his best performance came in the final, as he lived up to his reputation of 'big game player' pretty well.
