Internet Desk: A lot of youngsters idolizes Indian cricket team captain and always wants to become a player like him in future. Not only them, India’s star all-rounder, young Hardik Pandya also draws inspiration from Kohli too.
“I’ve seen Virat, and the discipline he has, and the confidence he has. I am confident and I want to learn his discipline. I keep on asking questions, try to learn”, Pandya was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
According to many people, Hardik is a party-freak and he doesn’t bother about what is the world thinking on him. Though Pandya feels that it’s a hoax and he is a preety reserved person in his private life.
“I might look like a guy who does all kinds of things but actually I am a very reserved person. I may look like I party freak who is not disciplined. But I have a focus on the game and that is always there. It’s okay, people may have issues but it’s just that it’s my nature.” Pandya was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
Talking about his flamboyant hairstyle and tattoos, Pandya said “It’s just my personality. I don’t know if that’s going to define future cricketers. If someone wants to have it, go on with it, and if not, I don’t know… It’s just my personality.”
However, Pandya didn’t mind being called the rockstar of the team, “I don’t mind. They want to name me rockstar, I am happy. But I am Hardik Pandya, who knows his game.” Pandya added.
The star all-rounder also notched his maiden test-ton against Sri Lanka during India’s recent tour, and according to the power hitter it was a well planned innings, and he didn’t try to hit the ball from the first ball.
“If you see, I didn’t go all brash in my first Test century. When we had lost eight wickets, I understood the situation and played accordingly. I was batting normally but once he (the ninth wicket) fell, I eventually had to go all out.
I always feel you should be confident. There are people who say I can’t control and but I can rather than focusing on what if this happens or that happens.” Pandya said.
