In a heartbreaking post for his brother, Hardik; Krunal Pandya breaks down in tears
The all-rounder of team India, Krunal Pandya, was left inconsolable as he broke down in tears in his emotional social media post on his brother Hardik, who overcame a storm of criticism over the last few months to help India claim the T20 World Cup trophy. While hailing the stunning comeback of his brother, Krunal Pandya said people forgot that he was just a “human being with emotions.”.
After the Mumbai Indians shockingly replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik as the captain last December for the IPL 2024 season, fans of Rohit started criticizing Hardik Pandya. While the move was lashed out at by veteran cricketers and experts, Hardik was attacked on social media. The online attack soon turned into boos during each of Mumbai’s matches and remained a constant as the side finished bottom of the table for the second time in three seasons.
Krunal, who was left teary-eyed watching Hardik during one of his post-match interactions in Barbados, penned a long, emotional post on his Instagram handle.
He wrote, “It’s almost been a decade since Hardik and I started playing professional cricket. And the last few days have been like a fairy tale that we’ve dreamt of. Like every countryman, I’ve lived this through our teams’ heroics, and I couldn’t be more emotional with my brother being at the heart of it.”
Krunal also highlighted how Hardik bravely fought against the ruthless reaction from the Wankhede crowd all through the IPL 2024 season and how he kept his focus on winning the World Cup for India.
