Hardik Pandya continues to build an impressive trophy cabinet, but the Indian all-rounder insists his hunger for success is far from satisfied. With two T20 World Cup titles and one Champions Trophy already to his name, Pandya now has three major international trophies. Yet, the dynamic cricketer believes the best years of his career are still ahead, and he has set an ambitious goal for himself — finishing with at least 10 major trophies across ICC tournaments and the IPL.
Pandya was among the most animated figures on the field after India national cricket team secured a dominant 96-run victory over the New Zealand national cricket team in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The grand finale, played at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, saw India defend their title in style and further cement their dominance in global white-ball cricket.

As celebrations erupted around the stadium, Pandya returned to a now-familiar ritual — striking his signature pose with the World Cup trophy on the pitch. Sharing photos from the victory celebrations on social media, he captioned the moment with a short but powerful message: “Ek baar aur India” (Once again, India).

The confident all-rounder later reflected on the mindset that drives him to chase trophies relentlessly. Speaking after the final, Pandya referenced a statement he made after India’s previous global triumph.
He explained that he had once said every trophy he competes for is meant to be won, not as a boast but as a belief. According to Pandya, the latest title was simply proof that confidence combined with relentless hard work can turn vision into reality.

Now 32, Pandya has grown into one of the senior figures in India’s white-ball setup. Despite that tag, he feels his cricket journey is only halfway complete. The star all-rounder believes he still has close to a decade of competitive cricket left and hopes that period will bring several more titles.
For Pandya, however, ICC trophies hold special value. While he aims to win multiple IPL titles in the coming years, he has made it clear that lifting global trophies for India remains the ultimate motivation.
