“First of all, if I need his help, he is there to help me. Also, you mentioned that he is the captain of the Indian cricket team, which helps me because of what the team has achieved under his leadership, From now on, it will be something that he has achieved that I will carry forward. So I don’t think it will be awkward or any different. It will be a good feeling because we have been there,” Hardik said. Having played for 10 years and spent my entire career with him, yeah, I know he’s going to have his hand on my shoulder all season long. “

Hardik also publicly addressed the fan backlash against the captaincy change. He emphasizes that his mindset is to focus on things within his control rather than focusing on factors beyond his control.
“Yes, I bowl and to be honest we respect the fans but at the same time we focus on the sport and I focus on what is needed and I control what is controllable and I don’t focus on what I cannot control and at the same time Pandya said: “We are grateful to the fans. Many famous people are named after them. I respect their opinions. “
