Following his debut for Team India in 2016 to becoming the first-choice all-rounder for the Men in Blue, Hardik Pandya has come a long way. The Baroda-lad has made a name for himself with his powerful lofts and premium bowling providing the team with an extra option in both aspects. Just like any other cricketer, Pandya too has struggled his way to seal a spot in the Indian team.

Taking a trip down memory lane, the ace-Indian all-rounder got nostalgic over his first-ever media interview which his brother Krunal shared. Retweeting the video, Hardik Pandya stated that it is 'gold' to see the interview now.
