Hardik Pandya Mahieka Sharma relationship and on-field motivation

Talking about his attitude at the crease, Hardik said, "You should be a rockstar, you know. You come, perform for 10 minutes and the crowd goes berserk. I think that has been the biggest motivation for me. Life has always thrown a lot of lemons at me. I always thought I'd make a lemonade. I've always believed that if you don't believe in yourself, how would others believe you? My mindset was really about coming back stronger, bigger, better. Every time that I walk in, I feel like all the crowd is just waiting. They've come for this moment, to watch me bat. Cause I've stood strong, I have done a lot of things with grace, and I think that has helped me to become even more confident, back myself and really trust my skillset. I really believe in myself as a player," Hardik said after the match, as quoted by The Indian Express.

Hardik linked this confidence to resilience during difficult phases with injuries. Reflecting on long breaks, he continued, "Injuries are very… it tests you mentally as well and at the same point of time it kind of puts a lot of doubts. A lot of credit goes to the loved ones which I had. Special mention to my partner as well. She's been nothing but best to me since she has entered my life and a lot of great things have happened since she has arrived," he continued.

I don't really sugarcoat a lot in my life. It's never about the other person, it's never about how others think or how others perceive. It is always about how I feel inside.
