Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh lauded Hardik Pandya’s valiant efforts in Team India’s run-chase against Australia on Tuesday.

“Hardik’s knee was…”: Yograj Singh on Champions Trophy semis

Speaking to Lokmat Times, Yograj Singh pointed out that Hardik‘s knee got twisted during the Champions Trophy semi-final clash and that he couldn’t walk. He lavished praise on the all-rounder for overcoming the setback and taking the team on the winning side. Noting that cricket was a religion in India, Yuvraj’s father urged critics to support players instead of playing them down constantly.

“Cricket is a religion in our country. When these players, who give their blood and sweat for us, when they fall, pick them up, when they feel sad, console them; when they cannot walk, then lift them on your shoulders. Hardik’s knee was twisted. He could not walk, but still, he took the match on the winning side. People should learn from this. People should be positive, irrespective of win or loss. If you keep talking down on a player, he goes down forever. Hardik Pandya’s knee got twisted today,” Yograj said.
