On June 29 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, the title-deciding moment of the World Cup final, it was understood how much heartache Pandya was carrying. The source of pain is IPL, Mumbai Indians and Wankhede. In the IPL, which ended a week before the T20 World Cup, Pandya became the 'villain'. In other fields, Mumbai's home ground Wankhede had to hear the duo continuously. Two months later, Wankhede itself is a different picture. Before Pandya came to the field, the slogan of 'Hardik, Hardik' was going on in the Wankhede gallery. Some are asking for forgiveness saying that it was not right to give two.
