The Indian team attracted widespread criticism following their semi-final exit from the T20 World Cup 2022.
In his column for The Telegraph, Vaughan branded India as the most underperforming team in white-ball cricket for failing to get things right despite having the best resources.
Speaking ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand, Pandya said while Team India respect different opinions, their job is not to please people but to get better at what they are doing. He was quoted as saying by NDTV:
India massively underperformed across departments in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England. Batting first on a good track, Rohit Sharma and Co. managed only 168. In reply, England chased it in 16 overs without losing a wicket.

With the next T20 World Cup two years away, Pandya highlighted that plenty of players will receive opportunities before the marquee ICC event. However, the all-rounder wants his teammates to live in the present and enjoy playing in New Zealand. saying:
Pandya, who will be leading India in the T20I series against New Zealand in Rohit’s absence, also captained the team in two T20Is against Ireland earlier this year.
