"I would like to win 10 more trophies": Hardik Pandya

Following India’s memorable victory at the Men's T20 World Cup 2026, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya shared that he wanted to win 10 more trophies in his career. Brimming with confidence after playing a major role in India’s title win, Pandya revealed that he wants to add at least ten more trophies to his cabinet over the next decade. Pandya, who has already been part of three ICC title-winning campaigns, believes the best phase of his career is still ahead of him. 

“It sounds very good that I am a senior player now. But I have 10 more years of cricket in me. I have played only half of my career so far; half is left. I would like to win 10 more trophies in total, including ICC and IPL. But ICC trophies are the most important for me,” Hardik said while speaking to the broadcaster after India’s 96-run win over New Zealand in the final.

"I would want to win anything that I play. In the next 10 years, I would definitely win five or six more. Losing was never in my mind. I would like to thank God," he added.   

The 2026 World Cup campaign once again highlighted Pandya’s value to the Indian side. He has time and again played an instrumental role in the team's victories, and in this tournament as well, his ability to contribute with both bat and ball proved decisive in several matches. During the tournament, he produced two impressive half-centuries against Namibia and Zimbabwe. And with the ball, he delivered at crucial moments, taking important wickets in high-pressure situations.

"This is the victory I have always lived for. This is why I have played cricket. I want to win trophies. I want to win as many trophies as I can. In 2024, I had said that whatever trophies I play for, I will win. And I believe that. This trophy is a validation of that," Hardik said.

"There is a lot of hard work. There is not only talk, but there is a lot of hard work. Work hard, stay silent, be a good person. Since Maheika has come into my life, I have only been winning," he added.
