MI skipper Hardik Pandya is going through a rough time in IPL 2024. His equation with the fans and crowd has certainly taken a toll on his performances on the field. He is leaking runs in bowling, while his batting has been totally out of sync. He has struggled miserably when it comes to captaincy as well.
But despite all that, he seems to be trying hard to give it best. That only goes on to show his mental toughness. His MI teammate Shreyas Gopal feels that all this is only going to make him stronger. “I have known Hardik for a decade, since my time with Mumbai Indians 10 years ago… He is a really tough guy. Something like this is only going to motivate him. The way he has been taking it so far is tremendous and really inspiring,” he said.
