When we think of Hardik Pandya, knocks such as 76 against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final come to our mind. Hailing from a financially weak background in Vadodara, Hardik Pandya’s story of playing for Team India has been a inspiration for many. After playing a vital role in 2013-14 Syed Mustaq Ali Trophy he was identified by the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians.
Him along with his brother Krunal made immediate impact for MI scoring crucial runs and picking important wickets when needed. Following his consistent performances in the domestic circuit Hardik was picked for the Indian Team in 2016.
Making his debut against Australia in the T20 series Hardik picked up 2 wickets in his debut match. Since then he has never looked back. His performances earned him the ODI cap in October 2016 and a Test cap the following year.
But Pandya took to twitter today to reveal what his real dream come true moment was.
Dream come BLUE!!! 💙
