Hardik Pandya Expresses Gratitude to Fans at Wankhede Stadium

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya thanked the fans for their overwhelming support during the T20 World Cup victory parade and the felicitation ceremony at Wankhede Stadium.

India’s T20 World Cup campaign marked a redemption arc for Pandya, the top-ranked T20I all-rounder who played a crucial role in ending India’s ICC World Cup title drought.

At Wankhede, Pandya once faced boos when he replaced Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Mumbai Indians IPL franchise. However, during the victory parade on Thursday, the same fans cheered for him, and his name resonated throughout the stadium during the felicitation ceremony.

Pandya shared his heartfelt thanks on X, writing, “India, you mean the world to me! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the love. These are moments that I will never ever forget! Thank you for coming out to celebrate with us, despite the rains! We love you so much! Celebrating with you is why we do what we do! We’re all champions! All 1.4 billion of us! Thank you Mumbai, thank you India.”
