Hardik's next goal after five IPL titles:

Five IPL finals, five titles. One as a captain in his first season with a team making its debut and representing his home state of Gujarat. Player-of-the-Match performance in that final, including the wickets of the big three of the opposition. Yet, Hardik Pandya's bigger goal in life is to win a World Cup with India. Moments after he collected the winners' trophy and finished his other obligations, Hardik was asked what his short-term and long-term goals were now that he completed a successful comeback after injury troubles had taken away his bowling, and consequently his place in the Indian sides.

"Absolutely to win the World Cup for India no matter what happens," Hardik said. "I am gonna give it everything I have. Always been that kind of guy to put the team first. For me the goal will be simple: to make sure my team gets it the most.
