\u201cMy cricketing idol is Hardik Pandya. I want to play like him. I watch his matches in the pressure situations all the time. I watch him play calmly, and that's my nature as well. I see myself being similar to him, and I want to play like him,\u201d she said in a video shared by WPL.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Just then, Gautami was handed a phone and shown a video message that Pandya had sent for her, where the senior all-rounder said, \u201cHi Gautami, Hardik here.

I hope going forward in life, you do more and more better for your franchisee and for the country. Keep loving the sport, be disciplined and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
