Hardik Pandya Inspirational Post On Comeback Sets Internet On Fire

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the newly-crowned T20 world champion with Team India, took to Instagram to share the message of making a comeback "greater than a setback". Facing injuries and controversies not so long ago, Hardik once again delivered when all the lights shined bright on him, playing a major role in his side's ICC T20 World Cup triumph. It was Hardik who secured the crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in the 177-run chase during the final and delivered the crucial final over in which he got the wicket of David Miller, which completely turned the game in favour of India.

"Told Crowd To Behave Because...": Sanjay Manjrekar On Hardik Pandya IPL Booing

When Sanjay Manjrekar schooled the Wankhede crowd to “behave” after they booed the newly-appointed Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya, all he wanted the public to realise that their boorish behaviour targeting a “big stage player”, was unfair. Pandya was jeered at every venue after he was handed captaincy by MI, signalling a controversial end to the successful and popular Rohit Sharma's tenure at the helm. The whole episode had a deep-level impact on Pandya.

On Being Potential Captaincy Successor To Rohit Sharma In T20Is, Hardik Pandya Said "There Is..."

The two greats of Indian cricket -- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli -- called time on their T20I careers with India's T20 World Cup triumph on Saturday. It was an emotional moment for both the players as the two played crucial roles for the national team in the format of the game for quite a long time. Virat led the team in T20Is before stepping down from the role in 2021. Rohit then took over the duties and fared well for India in the post. After India's defeat to England in 2022 World Cup semi-final both Rohit and Virat missed T20I cricket the next year and it was Hardik Pandya, who led the team. Later, Rohit and Virat returned to the format with the former being the captain again.

India skipper Rohit Sharma callled time on his T20I career after guiding the team to its second World Cup in the format, describing it as the perfect time to "say goodbye". Rohit made the announcement at the press conference after his long-time teammate Virat Kohli brought down curtains on his fabled career minutes after India defeated South Africa by seven runs at the Kensington Oval, Barbados in the final. "This was my last game as well. No better time to say goodbye. I wanted this (trophy) badly. It's very hard to put in words," Rohit told at the post-match press conference.

From IPL Flop To T20 WC Hero: Hardik Pandya's Redemption Arc Is Complete

A discussion about Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya is hardly ever complete without the mention of the 'TINA' (There Is No Alternative) factor in the past few months. Even when the cricketer was visibly out of form during the IPL 2024, fans and even some experts agreed that it is extremely difficult to drop him due to what he brings to the game. Over the past decade, Hardik gradually established himself as the premier fast-bowling all-rounder in India and even at present, there are not many players who can provide those attributes for the national side. While there were some doubters when he was named vice-captain for the T20 World Cup 2024, his performance and contribution in guiding the Rohit Sharma-led side to their first T20 World Cup title in 17 years really proved that there is really no alternative.

The picture of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in tears was the perfect representation of how the Indian cricket team and their fans felt after the loss against Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final. While both players won World Cups as youngsters in the national set-up, the loss robbed them to the perfect chance to bookend their illustrious careers. However, there was no such case on Saturday as India defeated South Africa in a thriller to clinch the T20 World Cup 2024 title and the excitement was visible on the experienced duo's faces. Rohit broke down in tears on the ground while Virat's fist bumps and aggressive celebration once again provided a sneak peek at his competitive attitude. However, what made the victory bittersweet was the dual announcement that shook Indian cricket.
