Irfan Pathan Slammed Hardik Pandya For His Poor Strike Rate

Irfan Pathan Slammed Hardik Pandya For His Poor Strike Rate – An uproar ensued when the Mumbai Indians reclaimed Hardik Pandya from the Gujarat Titans and named him captain instead of Rohit Sharma. This decision infuriated Rohit’s supporters and MI faithful, who felt betrayed. Fans booed and mocked him in Mumbai Indians’ 2024 IPL opener in Ahmedabad. It was clear that he was the target of strong criticism. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, lost their first encounter against the Gujarat Titans after wasting a lead in the chase.

Now, Rohit Sharma played his 200th IPL encounter for Mumbai Indians in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad. Unaware of the impending assault, Hardik Pandya, in his role as captain, elected to field first. With Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the helm, SRH’s batters caused mayhem, setting a new record for most runs scored in an IPL match with 277. Mumbai Indians finished at 246/5 after a brave chase but were ultimately defeated by 31 runs. Hardik Pandya scored 24 runs off of 20 deliveries as Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma, and Tim David also chipped in.

Hardik Pandya received a barrage of trolling and criticism for his lackluster performance, managing only 24 runs off 20 balls in a stiff chase of 278 runs. Pandya’s lack of urgency proved to be a hindrance for the Mumbai Indians’ chase, ultimately preventing them from reaching the target despite a solid overall score. The fans were clearly frustrated, questioning Pandya’s approach in a crucial match where every run mattered. His inability to increase the run rate at a crucial moment received strong criticism, emphasising the influence of his performance on MI’s loss.

Former India opener and current commentator, Irfan Pathan questioned the batting performance of captain Hardik Pandya. He asserted that when the other MI batters played with a. strike rate of 200, their captain languished with a strike rate of just 120.

He wrote, “If the whole team is playing with the strike of 200, Captain can’t bat with the batting strike rate of 120.”

If the whole team is playing with the strike of 200, Captain can’t bat with the batting strike rate of 120.
