Indian fast-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya, while talking about India’s poor performance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, said “everything was thrown at me”.

Speaking to Boria Majumdar on ‘Backstage with Boria’, Hardik Pandya said that he was selected in India’s World Cup squad as a pure batsman and he worked hard and did bowling in a match where he wasn’t supposed to.

“The position we were in at the World Cup, I felt everything was thrown at me. I was selected in the squad as a batter. I worked hard to bowl in the 1st game, but I couldn’t. I did bowl in the 2nd one even when I wasn’t supposed to,” said Hardik on Backstage with Boria.

The Baroda all-rounder added that he is focused on making a comeback as a pure all-rounder.

“I want to play as an all-rounder. If something goes bad, then I don’t know but my preparations are all about playing as an all-rounder. I am feeling good, feeling strong and eventually, the time will say what happens,” he added.

It will make me really happy and proud. It is like an obsession with me,” Hardik was quoted as saying by Economic Times.
