Lot of hardwork behind Hardik Pandya’s rise: Kieron Pollard

TIL Desk Sports/ India all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s unabashed confidence, which many may feel at times borders on arrogance, is actually his biggest strength, feels West Indies all-rounder and his Mumbai Indians teammate Kieron Pollard.

He prepares to take on Dwayne Bravo and team in the Selector Fan Cup, Pollard said that Hardik channelises his self-belief into creating magic moments on the field and the way the cricketer is able to focus on the job in hand even in trying situations shows his true mettle.

“I have seen him from when he started at Mumbai and I am not surprised. He has turned into an Indian superstar. The way he carries himself and the manner in which Hardik plays emulates how he is off the field and sometimes when you see guys like that, we as individuals who are very conservative tend to always have negative things to say.
