Mumbai Indians (MI) batsman Hardik Pandya was named the Altroz Super Striker of the Match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He scored 21* (11) which included three beautiful-looking fours and a six.

During an interaction with Danny Morrison during the post-match presentation, Hardik was asked if he misses partying because of bio-bubble? He had a hilarious answer to Danny's question.

Hardik reminded Morrison that he has become a father now and more than partying, he misses changing diapers. The 27-year-old, who got married to Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic, has a three-month-old baby boy. They welcomed their first child, Agastya in July.

“I’ve become a father now so I think I should not miss that. I should be missing changing the diapers,” Pandya replied.

Hardik is working on his batting technique and maintaining the body shape while playing those big hits. He showed a glimpse of it in his short innings against KKR on Friday. 

“I have been using that bat for three years now, so it has to be good. Just making sure that I keep working on my technique and maintaining the shape is more important. I go in deep in my batting, I really like to know about the factors which I am working on, and eventually, when it turns out pretty well, I really enjoy it.

“It’s simple - see the ball, play the ball. In my batting, I keep it simple. I don’t think much about what the bowler is a gonna bowl. I think the bowler is gonna bowl here, I prepare myself but then eventually I play merit of the ball”, he said.
