New York, June 5 Hardik Pandya wore a blue jersey on Wednesday but this time the crowd cheered him instead of jeering the all-rounder.
The blue jersey Pandya donned on Wednesday was that of India’s, and not the deep blue of Mumbai Indians in which he stood in the face of an intense storm during the IPL 2024.Here, Pandya played a key role with his fast-medium stuff that got him three wickets and “enjoyed hitting the stumps.” “Always special to play for the country, WC is something I’ve been able to contribute,” Hardik told broadcasters during the innings break during India’s T20 World Cup match against Ireland.
Having endured the most horrifying two and half months of his cricket career as MI skipper, Pandya once again looked at home in India blues.He bowled those four invaluable overs which his skipper Rohit Sharma will need more in the coming days to manoeuvre the moving pieces in his team combination.
