We also felt that it’s quite normal for Hardik to remove the fan’s hand. What do you have to say about this? Let us know in the comments section below. 

In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Hardik revealed how he would have been working at a petrol pump had it not been for the money in cricket. Talking about it, Pandya said, “You need a strong head to understand what is happening. I and Krunal were very strong-headed, so we were able to accept the fact that money is there, but we make sure we never lift a foot off the ground. It might come across like I am flying and all that, but I know at the end of the day, my foot is always on the ground,”

He added, “Money is good, bro. It changes a lot of things. I am one of those examples. Otherwise, I would be working at a petrol pump. I am not joking. For me, my family was the priority, to make sure my family has a good life.”  

He has surely come a long way!
