Hardik Singh Draws Inspiration from Cricket Star Hardik Pandya’s Clutch Performances
Indian hockey vice-captain Hardik Singh has revealed that star cricket all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been a source of inspiration for him due to his ability to deliver exceptional performances in crucial moments.
Hardik Singh, who played a pivotal role in India’s historic bronze medal triumph at the Paris Olympics, praised Pandya’s spectacular performances on the field. “I think Hardik Pandya is doing a really good job for the last 4-5 years. He is doing great,” Singh said.
Singh noted that Pandya’s ability to stand up in important matches and play a decisive role is particularly inspiring. “I try to be myself, but I take inspiration from him as he stands up in important matches and plays a really important role,” he added.
Pandya’s impact was evident in the T20 World Cup earlier this year, where he delivered a match-winning performance in the final against South Africa. He took crucial wickets and bowled a tight final over to defend 16 runs, helping India secure the title.
Singh also acknowledged the uncanny success that the name “Hardik” has enjoyed across different sports fields this year. “Hardik naam hi achha hai,” he said with a smile.
Both Hardik Singh and Hardik Pandya have been instrumental in their respective teams’ achievements. Singh’s influential performances helped India claim back-to-back bronze medals at the Olympics, while Pandya’s all-round brilliance has made him one of the top T20I all-rounders in the world.
