Talking about Hardik Pandya who bowled last over while defending 16 runs in 2024 T20 World Cup final against South Africa, ex-West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop said, "Redemption for Hardik." "After the way he was unfortunately treated in IPL by very small sections," Bishop stated. Notably, Hardik was booed in IPL 2024 after he replaced Rohit Sharma as MI captain.
