The flamboyant Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya has explained that now he has made the habit of living with the injuries would be a part and parcel of his career. He also added that injuries have always motivated him to perform better and overcome every adversity. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is scheduled to be commencing on September 19 and the final will be played on November 10 in the UAE across three venues – Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
In a video uploaded by Mumbai Indians on their Twitter handle, Hardik was heard saying, “In my life, I have realized one thing that injuries would be with me. No one wants to get injured but I accept the fact that what I do, injuries will be a part. Injuries have always kept me going, always kept me motivated, actually taught me how much I have to put hard yards and the hard work has always increased, never decreased.”
