After becoming the player of the match in the first T20, Pandya said that Mahika supported him a lot during his recovery.
Hardik said in the interview, “Injuries test you mentally and many questions start coming in your mind. People close to me have a big contribution in my comeback. Especially my partner, who has always stood by me since she came into my life. Because of her, many good things have happened.”
Before the first T20, Hardik had also expressed his displeasure with the media. Some media channels had made Mahika’s personal pictures and videos viral. He said that this is a violation of privacy and everyone should respect the boundaries.
On his return, Hardik said, “My thinking was that I should return stronger and better than before. Whenever I come out to bat, I feel that people have come to see me. I have believed in myself in difficult times and that has given me more confidence.”
