Hardik Pandya spoke about MS Dhoni in his post match conference after their win over Rajasthan Royals. Speaking about Dhoni, he said, “Obviously Mahi bhai has played a big role in my life. He is a dear brother, a dear friend, family to me. So, for me, I have learnt a lot of good of things from him. For me it was more about being individually strong which I’m really proud of myself as well, how I have been able to manage all the parts.”

He further added, “Before the captaincy as well, I always made sure that I approach all the situation in a cool-headed way. Generally, you take better decision that way. For me in my life and in my cricketing journey, it was important to give that 10-second extra rather than rushing in.” Hardik Pandya also spoke about Rashid Khan and David Miller in his interview later on.
