It is fair to say Indian all-rounder has made a turnaround in the T20 World Cup 2024. After his torrid form with both bat and the ball in IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya is back to what he does best: make an impact in the biggest of stages. However, if there’s one person that is not surprised with Hardik’s return to form, it is Indian bowling coach Paras Mhambrey.
His work ethic was the same: Mhambrey
According to Mhambrey, Hardik Pandya was always destined to come good, it was just a matter of getting back his rhythm.
“Hardik’s confidence in his ability was never in doubt. Sometimes you don’t get into the rhythm, no matter what you do. You’re bowling consistently, but you just cannot get into a rhythm. His work ethic was the same. We knew he was going to come good,” Mhambrey said in the pre-match press conference.
“If it was worrisome, he would not have done anything in that phase. If he did not work on that, then it was a little worrisome. But one thing was, for sure, I knew that I also followed that, that his work ethic was going on the same as before. So, if that is going on with him then after one or two matches, the rhythm of the bowler comes. After he got into that rhythm, you can see the difference between the IPL and this tournament,” he added.

Hardik had a forgetful IPL 2024 campaign where he led Mumbai Indians for the first time. The all-rounder had an economy of 10.75 in the 14 matches and picked up only 11 wickets. With the bat, he only scored 216 runs at an average of 18.
However, he looks like a changed man in T20 World Cup 2024. Hardik has already picked up 5 wickets in two matches at an average of 10.20 and an economy rate of 6.37.
