Jasprit Bumrah Recalls Standing By Hardik's Side Through Tough Times During IPL, 'Certain Things..'

Hardik Pandya went through a lot at the beginning of this year, both personally and professionally.

In a recent interview, Jasprit Bumrah revealed the hardship that Hardik faced back then.

In an interview with the Indian Express, Jasprit Bumrah was asked about Hardik Pandya's situation. The pacer revealed that the team doesn't promote the fact that one has to take it on the chin, and instead, they all were by Hardik's side. Bumrah shared that certain things are beyond control, and what happened just happened. He also added that the situation changed as soon as India won the World Cup trophy. Bumrah can be quoted as saying:

"That’s where the inner circle comes in. We, as a team, don’t encourage that, we don’t promote that. We don’t think that’s warranted. We were with him, talking to him, if he needed support. Certain things are beyond your control. If it happened, it happened. The narrative just changed, when we won the World Cup. This is part of the journey. It’s us against the world. We will try to give as much support as we can."
