After India’s T20 World Cup win in 2026, a confident Hardik Pandya has declared that he wants to win 10 more trophies in his career. Hardik said he had already won three ICC trophies and wanted to win 10 more in the next 10 years of his career, with the ICC and the Indian Premier League combined.
The Indian all-rounder, who was a key figure in India’s winning campaigns in 2024 and 2026, said that ever since Maheika Sharma (partner) entered his life, he has been winning everything.

“This is the victory I’ve always lived for. That’s why I played cricket. I want to win trophies. I want to win as many trophies as possible. In 2024, I said that whatever trophy I play for, I will win. And I believe it. This trophy is a confirmation of that,” Hardik Pandya told the 8 March TV channel on Sunday.
“There’s a lot of hard work behind it. It’s not just talk, there’s a lot of hard work. Work hard, keep quiet, be a good person. Ever since Maheika came into my life, I’ve only been winning,” he added.

Hardik Pandya: I want 10 more trophies
Hardik said that he has only played the first half of his career and that he still has 10 years of international cricket left. Pandya sounded confident of winning another five or six trophies in the next phase of his career and thanked God for being kind to 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. I would like to win five or more that I am playing. In the next 10 years, I would definitely like to win,” he said.
“I never thought about losing. I would like to thank God,” concluded the all-rounder.
Hardik has played some crucial innings with the bat and has played some amazing spells with the ball in this World Cup campaign. Hardik hit two fifties – against Namibia and Zimbabwe – and took wickets in the virtual quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the tournament.
Hardik concluded the interview with a message to the country stating that if people put in the work, keep quiet and be a good person, they could achieve their dreams.
The Indian team will now celebrate it for a few days and then take an individual route to link up with their IPL teams.
Indian Premier League starts on March 28; however, the schedule has not yet been released.
