Hardik Pandya News: No matter how the time is, it changes. This applies to every turn of life, whether it is good or bad. Hardly anyone can understand this better than the players associated with any sport, where it does not take much time for time to change. Within a few hours, a few days or a few weeks, they reach from rags to riches or from riches to rags. Team India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is the latest and biggest example of this, who was the target of millions of fans till two months ago, but now the same fans are praising him, slogans are being raised in his name, that too in the same Wankhede Stadium, where he had to listen to a lot of bad things.Team India returned to the country on Thursday, July 4 after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title in Barbados. Team India returned to New Delhi where it was given a warm welcome from the airport to the hotel. Then the team also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After this, the program that the fans were waiting for the most was to be held in Mumbai. Here Team India had to take out a victory parade in an open bus and then a special program was to be held at the Wankhede Stadium.Wankhede echoed with Hardik's nameAs expected, even before Team India reached Mumbai, all the places from the roads to the Wankhede Stadium were packed to the brim. The Wankhede Stadium was filled to its full capacity and from this stadium, that scene was seen again, which was difficult to even imagine till one and a half to two months ago. The entire stadium was not chanting Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, but Hardik-Hardik. A fan present in the stadium posted a similar video, in which the entire Wankhede Stadium echoed with Hardik's name.
Abuse in IPL, won hearts in the World CupThis video is enough to tell that it does not take long for times to change. Just a few weeks ago, during IPL 2024, slogans were being raised against Hardik during the Mumbai Indians match in this stadium. Hardik had replaced Rohit Sharma as the captain of Mumbai before this season, which was not liked by the fans of this franchise and especially Rohit Sharma. During the entire tournament, Mumbai and Rohit fans raised slogans against Hardik and abusive words were used against him.These same fans changed completely after a few weeks and came out in support of Hardik because the star all-rounder started showing his prowess in the T20 World Cup.
