Ishan reveals Hardik's "no negativity" advice after T20WC clash

Kishan's 24-ball 61 and Hardik's fiery 28-ball 52, combined with two wickets, were the highlights of a thumping 93-run win over Namibia in their T20 WC clash. Following the match, Ishan and Hardik had a happy chat about their performances and how Hardik helped him get through tough times after losing his BCCI central contract in 2024 over an alleged lack of commitment to red-ball cricket/domestic cricket. During the first half of 2024, Hardik himself was facing a tough time after being named as Mumbai Indians (MI) captain on his return to the franchise after two fine seasons with Gujarat Titans (GT), including an IPL title win as a captain. During the IPL matches, stadiums would ring with massively loud boos whenever Hardik made an appearance, with several slurs and objectionable name-calling aimed at him mostly by the fanbase of the ex-MI captain, Rohit Sharma, who felt that Hardik had allegedly betrayed the 'Hitman' by taking up the captaincy.
