Ajit Agarkar doubts Hardik Pandya’s captaincy ability, this is why he was stripped of the captaincy

According to a Hindustan Times report, BCCI chief selector, Ajit Agarkar was unsure about Pandya’s ability as a captain as he noted flaws in his captaincy with GT and MI in the IPL. Notably, the all-rounder was also named as India’s vice-captain for the World Cup 2023 and had to leave the tournament midway after getting injured in a match against Bangladesh. Gautam Gambhir is not sure about Hardik Pandya’s bowling in ODI format However, he has captained India in 16 T20Is and three ODIs when permanent skipper Rohit Sharma was not available. The 30-year-old sought a break from the upcoming white-ball tour after a tough T20 World Cup campaign but the management turned down the request. He has been included in the T20I squad and earlier, head coach, Gautam Gambhir reportedly expected the cricketer to prove his bowling fitness to stay in the ODI format. Gambhir had expressed uncertainty about Pandya’s fitness to bowl 10 overs in ODIs and asked the right-arm pacer to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Mumbai Indians’ new captain Hardik Pandya has not played any ODIs since the World Cup 2023 and has also not been included in the 50-over squad for the Sri Lanka tour. India will play three ODIs and as many T20Is against Sri Lanka, with the first T20I starting on July 27. To everyone’s surprise, BCCI has dropped Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma from any format for the Sri Lanka tour and Riyan Parag is part of both squads.

Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey is not worried about Hardik Pandya’s poor form, said- he has faith in his ability…

However, in the T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya has taken 5 wickets at an average of 10.20 and an economy rate of 6.37. Meanwhile, speaking in the press conference before the match against USA, Mhambrey said that Hardik has a lot of confidence in his ability and the problem with him in the IPL was that he was not in good form. Paras Mahambre said, “I think one thing I am definitely sure about is that he has faith in his ability. Sometimes in the tournament you don’t have the momentum. Sometimes, even if you try, the rhythm doesn’t come. It takes time. I think that was a phase where he didn’t have the momentum. As a bowler, you do everything, you bowl, you bowl continuously, you play so I think sometimes he couldn’t maintain his momentum. That was one of the reasons where he couldn’t maintain his rhythm.” Let us tell you that bowling coach Paras Mhambrey also gave his opinion about the victory of the Indian cricket team against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. He said, I thought that this match would be a very stressful match. Obviously, it will be more stressful because the match is against Pakistan. You can say anything, but it will never be a normal game.
