Ishan Kishan on Hardik Pandya: ‘I had a gut feeling that he was saving it for the World Cup’

Hardik Pandya has been through a roller-coaster of emotions, on and off the field, in recent months, and few people have witnessed what the all-rounder went through in his low phase as closely as Ishan Kishan.Now that Hardik is enjoying a redemption of sorts after playing a key role in India’s triumph at the T20 World Cup, the memories of the home crowd at Wankhede Stadium booing the new Mumbai Indians captain, after he returned from Gujarat Titans to replace icon Rohit Sharma, seem a relic of the past.

The decision was seemingly based on the perception that both Iyer and wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan had prioritized the IPL over domestic crick...
