Hardik Pandya made this statement when the Indian team met the Prime Minister at his residence in New Delhi after landing in India on Thursday morning.

India pacer Hardik Pandya on Thursday spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about how he managed to handle the criticism he faced in recent months in the Indian Premier League (IPL) before bouncing back to help the Men in Blue win the T20 World Cup for the second time in history. Hardik made the statement when the victorious Indian team met the prime minister at his residence in New Delhi after landing in India on Thursday morning.

Hardik faced vicious attacks on social media from fans ahead of the 2024 IPL season after Mumbai Indians named him captain, replacing Rohit Sharma. This quickly turned into boos and jeers from spectators at every venue where MI played during the tournament, which also affected his performance.

Addressing Prime Minister Modi, Hardik revealed that despite the difficult phase of his career, he did not lose his cool while responding to his critics and instead felt that his performance would be talked about.

“The last six months have been very entertaining for me, there have been a lot of ups and downs and the crowd booing me. A lot has happened and I always thought that if I had to respond, it would be through sport… So I believed that I would stay strong and work hard,” he said.

After a forgettable IPL season, where MI finished bottom of the table for the second time in three seasons, Hardik played a decisive role in the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies, especially in crucial moments for the Indian team, including the final, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen before taking two wickets in the last over to successfully defend 16 runs as India won by seven runs. In total, he scored 144 runs at a strike rate of 151.57 in six innings and took 11 wickets throughout the tournament.

Hardik's redemption story finally got a fairytale ending when the same Wankhede crowd started chanting his name when the Indian team was felicitated at the iconic venue on Thursday night. The sight left Hardik surprised before he got up from his seat to acknowledge the crowd's appreciation.
