The last 6 months have been very bad for Hardik Pandya

There has been a lot of turmoil in Hardik Pandya's life for the last 6 months. Ever since Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya their captain, fans have been trolling him continuously. Hardik Pandya was made the captain of Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma, which Rohit Sharma's fans did not like and they started trolling Hardik Pandya in every match.

Hardik Pandya broke his silence on all these issues for the first time

Shortly after Hardik Pandya's divorce from his wife Natasha Stankovic, the news came that Suryakumar Yadav has been made the captain of the T20 team in his place, and he has also been stripped of the vice-captaincy of the Indian ODI team. Hardik Pandya came in front of the media for the first time after all this and spoke openly on all the issues.

Hardik Pandya has been stripped of the captaincy and vice-captaincy of the T20 and ODI team due to his poor fitness, after which, while talking about his fitness, Hardik Pandya said that

“If you and I are trying 20-20, there is no difference between the two, but I try 25 and challenge myself, then next time I will try 25. Then I will try 30.”

Hardik Pandya furthered his point and said that

“Sometimes it is important to keep the mind without any thoughts. When my trainer asks me to do 10 pushups, I always do 15. This has increased my stamina and I think everyone who wants to start a fitness journey should focus on this.”
