He said that hardwork pays.

The sentence in the indirect speech is:

• The given sentence is in direct speech.

• Indirect speech or reported speech is used to address the words of the speaker in an indirect way without quoting his words.

• Certain changes take place during the change:

1. Reporting verb

2. Tense

3. Addition of 'that' after reporting verb

Tenses in case of universal truth or facts need to be kept the same( as in this case).
