- 10 years of this journey, the year I turn 33 ๐ฎ๐ณ๐
Itโs one thing to play the sport I love with all my heart, and itโs another to be able to serve my country through it. I love you all, thankyou for everything. Thankyou god for the trials and tribulations that got me hereโฆ The chances that so many people tookโฆ The opportunity to live this life.
This year has taught me that this is merely the beginningโฆ Iโm only just getting started on the path I truly wish to walk.
And if I may, to look back at a young Hardik running an extra few miles to get to play from Baroda - a batsman bowling extra balls in the nets to bowlers who never got to practice batting, becoming an all rounder at 19, and from getting noticed and getting rejected - getting to play for my เคฆเฅเคถ has been the most worthwhile journey for me.
God had great plans for me when he let me debut on the 26th of January ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ค๐งฟ
Iโve become a man while playing this sport, and Iโll grow old playing it too.
