"Didn't have even Rs 1000..." - Hardik Pandya recalls his struggle days before his IPL entry!

Hardik Pandya has eloquently said that he was facing a tough time without even 1000 rupees before getting a place in the IPL.

The 4th league match of the IPL series was played yesterday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Gujarat Titans, led by Hardik Pandya, and the Lucknow Super Giants, led by KL Rahul, clashed. Batting first, Lucknow scored 158 for 6 wickets. Batting next, Gujarat won by 161 runs in 19.4 overs. With this, Hardik Pandya started his first match as captain with victory.

Hardik Pandya shares about the hardships he faced in his early days in this position. In it, he eloquently said, "I didn't even have Rs. 1000 in my account till three months ago when Mumbai Indians picked me up the first time." 

In 2013, the Mumbai Indians bid for Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya has been the main reason for the team to win many matches. So Hardik Pandya became the star player of that team. Following this, he was included in the Indian cricket team in 2016.

Hardik, who played for the Mumbai Indians for many years, was bought by the Gujarat Titans for Rs 15 crore before the auction this year. He has also been given the responsibility of captain.
