T20 WC: 'Wanted My Son To Feel How Emotional I Was,' Says Hardik On Energetic Celebration After Bethell's Wicket
T20 World Cup: India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has revealed the reason behind his energetic celebration after dismissing Jacob Bethell in the second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2026 played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
Hardik's fast throw at the striker's end in the final over of England's chase helped end Bethel's magnificent innings of 102 runs. The reaction from the 32-year-old after dismissing Bethell was telling as he was very animated in his celebration, pumping up the entire side. Hardik revealed that it was because his son Agastya and girlfriend Mahieka Sharma were present in the stands, and he wanted them to feel his emotions after the crucial wicket.
“One batter I had to get out from the field was Bethell, the way he was batting. I knew I had to keep calm and throw it where it was supposed to be. I would have liked it a little closer to the stumps, but nevertheless, we got the job done," Hardik said in a video released by BCCI on X.
