in IPL 2024 Mumbai Indians It has had a very bad start. He has faced defeat in three consecutive matches. Along with this, Hardik Pandya has also had to face a lot of criticism. The franchise had appointed him captain before the start of the tournament, but till now the team has not lived up to the expectations under his leadership.
Apart from this, captain Hardik Pandya has been trolled and booed many times by the fans. Meanwhile, former England captain Michael Vaughan expressed surprise at Indian fans booing Pandya, which is a rare incident in the history of Indian cricket.
Michael Vaughan said that I have never heard the Indian audience speaking ill of anyone. I heard this boo when he played against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. He left Gujarat and came to Mumbai. He brought GT the title. So I don’t think this is right.
I am surprised by this – Michael Vaughan
On Hardik being booed by the home crowd too, he said, but going to Hyderabad and being that evil, then coming to Wankhede and getting booed by the Mumbai Indians fans, even though he is playing for Mumbai only. I am surprised by this. I have never seen an Indian crowd booing one of their own.
Appears on podcast with Vaughn adam gilchrist cited the immense popularity of Rohit Sharma as a possible reason behind this misbehavior towards Pandya.
Gilchrist replied that, it shows what is the situation of Rohit Sharma there. Everyone was surprised by Mumbai bringing Hardik Pandya from Gujarat and then Rohit Sharma leaving the captaincy. This is strange. But this is common in IPL. The feeling that there is among the fans about Rohit Sharma is difficult to replicate anywhere else.
I know how Hardik feels- Gilchrist
Gilchrist gave the example of an incident when he made his ODI debut and was booed by the fans when he replaced Ian Healy. He said, I was also criticized on the field. So I know how Hardik feels, I will just go to Hardik, and I will grab him.
To this, Vaughn immediately responded with a joke, “Gillie, maybe you are the one who messages Hardik and says, ‘Look, buddy, I’m there, do you want to come on the podcast and we can discuss this?’ Are.
The former Australian wicketkeeper looked ready to help the MI captain during this difficult time. He said, I am Boo Whisper. I know how to get into their mind and how to bring them out of it.
