Yuvraj Singh, who became the hero of India's victorious campaign in the 2011 World Cup, is expecting special performances from all rounder Hardik Pandya in the 2019 edition, beginning May 30 in the UK.
In an recent interview Yuvraj was quoted saying "I was actually having this conversation with him (Hardik) yesterday where I told him that 'you have a great chance of performing really well with the ball and bat', the kind of form he is in at the moment. Definitely, the way he is batting at the moment, it is phenomenal and I hope he carries that form into the World Cup. He has been bowling well in patches but as I said it is all about how you handle the pressure.
Hardik Pandya is back to his best, at least with the bat, following testing times which saw him serve an interim suspension for making sexist comments on a popular chat show. He has been in remarkable form this IPL and his Mumbai Indians teammate Yuvraj hopes that he extends his explosive run to the 50 over mega event.
Hardik Pandya few days back got into trouble beacuse of his controversial statement in a chat show. His statement was highly criticised by the audience. 'Sexist, misogynistic and racist', this was the reaction from the world as Hardik 'got carried away' with the format of the show.
