'Devastated, Gutted, Hurt': Hardik Pandya After India's T20 World Cup Exit

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya on Thursday said that he is "Devastated, gutted, hurt" after India suffered a crushing 10-wicket loss to England in the second semifinal of the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval.

Hardik played a sensational knock (63 off 33) to propel India to a decent 168/6 in 20 overs England openers Jos Buttler (80 not out from 49 balls) and Alex Hales (86 not out from 47) made a chase look like a walk in the park, powering their team to the final with a convincing 10-wicket win over India.

"Devastated, gutted, hurt. Tough to take, for all of us. To my teammates, I've enjoyed the bond that we built - we fought for each other every step of the way. Thank you to our support staff for their endless dedication and hardwork for months on end," the star all-rounder said in a tweet.

"To our fans who backed us everywhere we went, we're forever grateful. It wasn't meant to be but we'll reflect and keep fighting," he added.
