One of the most prominent and seasoned players of the Indian cricket team, Hardik Pandya’s performance on the domestic and international level has been amazing. Still, the ups and downs are part of the player’s career. He played for the Indian cricket team in some amazing matches and showed some key performances in the tough times when the Indian team needed him.
Hardik Pandya was super amazing in the T20 World Cup. He followed his responsibilities as the key all-rounder of the Indian Cricket Team to be the focal point of the team. Let’s dive into the story and learn about his current performance in the T20 World Cup and also about his IPL 2024 performance.
Performance in the T20 World Cup
Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja were the key all-rounders in the Indian team while playing in the T20 World Cup. Hardik was very, very amazing with the bowl as well with the bat. In the final against South Africa, he decisively took the wicket of the key player of the opponent’s team, Heinrich Klaasen. He took 11 wickets in the whole tournament. With the bat, he also performed amazingly; he made 144 runs at a strike rate of over 150.0. It is quite amazing for the middle-order batsman to carry his team in this rhythm to succeed against the opponent team in a crucial time or match.
Performance in the IPL 2024
Hardik Pandya was the captain of the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024. He had to play the key role for MI, although he was not that good at it. Hardik Pandya scored 216 runs in the 14 matches of the IPL 2024; his highest runs were only 46 in the whole tournament. Hardik had a strik rate of 143.0.
Although, with the ball, he just took 11 players’s wickets in the season; his average was 35.18 and the economy rate was 10.75, which was not quite inspiring. However, his captaincy was also not quite good enough to recall him as a top performer. Rohit Sharma was good compared to Hardik’s captaincy. Hardik was badly trolled and criticized by the netizens and fans for his performance and his cringe behavior.
Hardik Pandya’s Future Prospect
There is certainly no doubt in his performance and his abilities to take the game to the next level. He was the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team, although it was given to Shubman Gill in the T20 World Cup. But his performance doesn’t show any sort of glitch in it’s trend.
After the retirement of Rohit Sharma, who is the winning captain of the T20 World Cup and star opening batsman, Hardik Pandya was expected to be handed over. But it was Suryakumar Yadav who was chosen for the leadership of the team. But it doesn’t bother Hardik Pandya. Pandya is currently off to a Sri Lankan series under the leadership of Suryakumar, who is the captain. Hardik Pandya is expected to perform best under the newly appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team, Gautham Gambhir.
Fans and his lovers expect him to perform at his best for his team and his nation and make them proud. It seems that Hardik Pandya has a bright future and to play a vital role in leading the Indian side into new records. Moreover, it will be interesting to see how the near future pans out for the prolific all-rounder.
