After the third game, Chamika revealed how he started following Hardik Pandya. “Hardik Pandya is a nice human being, the bat he gave was a quality bat and we don’t get that here, I am thankful to him, he even messaged me after the game and advised me about what to do to become a better cricketer,” he told Sony studio.
