Hardik Pandya expressed disappointment at missing the Asia Cup final against Pakistan due to injury but praised the team's character in securing India's ninth title. India chased 147 in 19.4 overs on Sunday. Pandya highlighted how pressure situations will benefit the team long-term, noting their ability to adapt and play fearlessly. He commended Abhishek Sharma's blazing start that won half the game during powerplay. Despite modest personal stats, four wickets in six matches at 8.57 economy Pandya emphasized enjoying his new-ball role alongside Jasprit Bumrah. He treats bowling as a life choice rather than a task, prioritizing it as his primary skill while maintaining batting readiness when needed.
