Hardik Pandya Speaks Out Amid Criticism Following MI’s Three Consecutive Losses: ‘Important Fact You Should Be Aware Of…’
On Tuesday, despite facing harsh criticism from Mumbai Indians fans following the team’s disappointing six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium, Hardik Pandya remained resolute in his dedication to the franchise. Taking to social media, he reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Mumbai Indians, showcasing his characteristic resilience in the face of adversity.
After being booed by the crowd at Wankhede Stadium, Hardik Pandya responded on social media. Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar also addressed the crowd’s behavior. Pandya, the new Mumbai Indians skipper, faces the daunting task of filling the shoes of Rohit Sharma, who led the team to five IPL titles.
In the MI vs RR IPL 2024 match, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal starred for Rajasthan Royals, taking three wickets each and dismantling the Mumbai Indians’ batting lineup. Boult particularly shone by dismissing key batters Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, and Dewald Brevis for golden ducks. Despite this, Pandya and Tilak Varma showed some resistance against the Rajasthan bowlers.
Following the match, Pandya acknowledged the team’s shortcomings and expressed optimism that Mumbai Indians would show greater resolve in upcoming games.
“We didn’t start as intended tonight, and the evening posed its challenges. While outcomes can be uncertain, we trust in our team’s capability to improve in the future. Our priority now is to uphold discipline and show more courage as we move ahead.”
