Krunal Pandya : Cricket Is First Priority For Hardik

Mumbai: Krunal Pandya who is the brother and teammate of Hardik Pandya said that Cricket is a priority for Hardik.

Hardik Pandya was suspended after a comment on a talk show plus was kept out due to his back injury for almost six months.

In that period he used to work on his fitness and cricket has always been a priority for him taking it first into the case.

“When Hardik was kept out for six months, he worked on his fitness. He puts in a lot of hard work, cricket has been a priority to him,” Krunal said.

He came strongly after that period and showed his class once again in the Indian Premier League resulting in the selection of him in the 15 men squad in the grand event – World Cup.

His goal has always been to be consistent and improve his game altogether. If you observe him, he always adds something out to the game. He has a lot of self-belief. I get a lot to learn from him. No matter what the situation is or how doubtful you are, you got to know how to back yourself up,” Krunal added.

Hardik has his name under over 700 runs and 44 wickets in 45 ODIs, he admitted that being away from the game helped him grow as a better cricketer.

“Everyone has a setback. I wanted to improve and grow better and work on myself and I think the time I got is helping me today,” Hardik has said earlier.

“It is very much important to always have the confidence behind you to work, as the World Cup is a big stage. It is for the first time I’m playing and for me, it was important to hit the ball very well as I was away from the game to come back,” he added.

The World Cup is set to begin from May 30. India will play its warm-up matches first against New Zealand and Bangladesh. The team will begin its campaign from June 5th against South Africa at Hampshire Bowl.
