“It is Going To Be History’: Hardik Pandya Comments Before India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 Match

India vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2024: India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya on Friday admitted that he is quite grateful to play in the India vs Pakistan high-octane clash and called himself not only lucky to have played such arch-rival matches. Both teams will lock horns with each other in the high-octane clash at the Nassau Country International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

During an interaction program with Star Sports, Hardik talked about how he usually feels whenever they play against Pakistan and urged the fans to be ready for a historic clash.

“For me, standing in big games is very exciting, I find it extra special, and Pakistan has been one team where I have been very fortunate. I have been able to do well in a lot of games. It all comes down to the vibe. Hold your breath, this is a request. This is not just a flight, this is going to be history,” Hardik Pandya was quoted as saying on Star Sports.

Hardik had a forgettable stint as the Mumbai Indians skipper in IPL 2024 but then he bounced back while playing for India in the warm-up match against Bangladesh. He showed his batting prowess by scoring 40 runs off 23 balls.
