Team India has become the winner of T20 Cricket World Cup by registering a historic victory. On Saturday, the Indian team defeated South Africa by 7 runs in Barbados. There was a turning point in the match when it seemed that victory was slipping away from us. South Africa needed 30 runs from 30 balls to win and had 6 wickets in hand. But then the Indian team’s strong bowlers showed their magic. Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya took wickets in quick succession and won hearts along with the match. Hardik Pandya came to bowl in the last over when South Africa needed 16 runs to win. But Pandya did not let this pressure overwhelm him and bowled accurately.
As soon as the last ball was bowled, Hardik and the team were immersed in the celebration of victory. As soon as the match ended, Pandya started crying bitterly. After the struggle and difficult times of the last few months, he could not hold back his tears on the field. The last few months have been very difficult for Hardik Pandya. Things got worse after being ruled out of the 2023 World Cup due to injury. When he got the captaincy of Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma in the IPL, the fans trolled him fiercely. Its effect was also seen on the performance. Neither were runs being scored with the bat nor could he do much in bowling. In 14 matches, Hardik scored only 216 runs and took 11 wickets. Mumbai Indians’ performance was also poor and the team finished at the bottom of the tournament.
Hardik Pandya, who was already facing the mental pressure of all this, was also not doing well in his personal life. News of his divorce from his wife started coming in the media. His wife Natasha removed all the wedding photos from social media, after which the news spread that there is a rift between the two. It was also reported that Hardik will have to transfer 70 percent of his property to his wife Natasha. Also, he will lose the custody of his son.
Leaving all this behind, vice-captain Hardik Pandya performed brilliantly in this T20 World Cup. After the match, he said that this is a very emotional moment. He said, “Especially for me, I have not spoken a single word for six months, things have not been right, but I knew a time would come when I would shine.”
