Hardik Pandya shared an emotional yet heartfelt message for Team India ahead of the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19.
The star Indian all-rounder is currently out of action after injuring his ankle during the World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh. The ankle injury forced him not to be part of the remainder of Indian cricket team’s memorable journey in the CWC 2023, as he could only feature in four games.
As the Men in Blue are just one game away from their ultimate goal, Hardik Pandya took to X to share a heartfelt message for the team by saying that he couldn’t be more proud of this Indian cricket team. Though his disappointment in missing out on the final is quite visible in the video.
Pandya said in a video posted on X: “I could not have been more proud of this team. Everything that we’ve done so far has been credit to the years of hard work behind us. We are now one step away from glory, from doing something special that we’ve dreamt of since we were children.”
He added, “Lifting the cup not just for ourselves but the billion people behind us. Always with you with my love and all my heart. Now let’s bring the cup home. Jai Hind.”
