"Talking about Hardik Pandya. He loves challenges. He has been in this situation before. He is in that situation right now. He is not someone who will come out and talk about this and that. I know he is someone who works really hard off the field. On the field, he is on a very different level." Kishan said during the press conference post MI's win.
"I know he must be enjoying it. I know him personally, I have spent a lot of time with him. He must be enjoying it. He is ready for the challenges, because you can't complaint to the fans. They will come up with their expectations, they will come up with their point of view. But at the same time, me knowing how Hardik Pandya thinks, he is someone who loves challenges. He’s happy with people doing it.
Kishan also noted that there isn’t any discussion around Hardik Pandya getting booed as everyone is in full support of him.
"We just don't think about him getting booed. We are there to support him. Whole team is there, the franchise is there, owners there and everyone is there. I just feel happy for him that he is keen on performing even in this situation, going out there in the middle and hitting a six of the very first ball, knowing that things can do in a different way. People can question you as well. But that is something that Hardik Pandya has in himself and do it," said Kishan.
