The anger of the fans towards Hardik Pandya is still not abating after the captaincy was removed from the hands of Rohit Sharma. He has been trolled many times by fans on the field. It has been more than a week since the IPL started. But Hardik is constantly being discussed on social media. R Ashwin gave the example of Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni and explained why Sachin Tendulkar can play under Dhoni but not Rohit Hardik.
R Ashwin said, “I don’t see why any team needs to explain if you don’t like a player and he’s insulted. We act like it never happened. Sourav Ganguly also played under Sachin Tendulkar and Sachin Tendulkar also played under Sourav Ganguly. He played under Rahul Dravid.
Ashwin added, “All three of them have played under Anil Kumble and all of them have played under Dhoni. When all these legends can play under Dhoni. Dhoni can play under Virat. So what’s the problem? Have you seen Joe Root and Jack Crowley fans fighting each other in any other country? This is madness. You’ve never seen fans in Australia fight over Steve Smith and Pat Cummins.”
Mumbai Indians have faced two defeats in the IPL so far. In the match played in Hyderabad, under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 31 runs. Earlier, Mumbai had to face defeat in the match against Gujarat Titans as well. Mumbai’s performance under Hardik’s captaincy has not been anything special so far. Because of this, Hardik has become the center of criticism.
