According to team and board sources, Hardik, keeping in mind personal reasons and fitness-related preparations, requested the board to play the upcoming match at the most favorable venue for him and the team.

BCCI had decided to hold the match in a certain city as per the initial plan, but considering the demands of Hardik Pandya and suggestions from the team management, the board had to change the decision. After this decision, the facilities for the players and support staff improved and the team also got mental strength.

Hardik Pandya spoke openly on this issue and said, “It is the right of every player to prepare better for the team and play in proper conditions. The purpose of my request was only to ensure the success and proper performance of the team.” It is clear from his statement that he gave priority to the interest of the team over personal interest.

Over the years the board has become more sensitive towards the safety, health and performance of players.

The new venue of the match has also brought relief and excitement for the fans. Some concerns were raised regarding the number of spectators and facilities at the previously decided venue, but the match will be organized in a completely organized manner at the new venue. BCCI said in its official statement after this change that the convenience of the players and spectators is paramount, and the board always takes decisions in their interest.

This decision is being considered positive in the cricket community. Fans are praising Hardik Pandya on social media that he raised his voice in the interest of the team and inspired the board to take necessary steps.
