DTVHINDI“He is mentally very disturbed…”- Surprising claim of former cricketer about Hardik Pandya
Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Robin Uthappa feels that Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya might be going through mental stress amid all the negative reactions he is getting from fans in IPL 2024. The 30-year-old Hardik returned to MI in an off-season trade with Gujarat Titans (GT) and was also made the captain in place of Rohit. As a result, Hardik faced criticism from MI fans across the country. BeerBiceps Speaking on his YouTube channel, Uthappa expressed sympathy towards Hardik and requested the fans to be nice to Hardik. They said that, “This guy knows… He is well aware of the jokes, trolling, memes about his fitness. Don’t you think it hurts him? It hurts any person. How many people know its reality? Hardik is struggling with this, he is definitely mentally disturbed. I think we are emotional people. But it is unbecoming of us to impose this kind of behavior on any human being. We should not laugh at this, we should not carry it forward.” The former cricketer further said, “He has the potential to become the greatest player of all time for the Indian team. The team that scouted him let him go, he went to another franchise. After winning 3-4 titles with them, he left. He must have felt a little bad because he went into GT, won one title and was runner-up in another.” Things became worse for Hardik when he could not perform well as a player and captain this season. This season, Hardik has scored runs with the bat at an average of less than 24 and a strike rate of 146.87. His average in bowling was more than 41 and he gave runs at an economy rate of more than 11.
Harbhajan Singh warned on Mohammed Siraj’s poor form, “Mentally tired…will cause big problems”
In IPL 2024, Siraj (Mohammed Siraj) has taken only 4 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 57.25. Mohammad Siraj (Photo Source: Twitter) Harbhajan Singh recently requested RCB to rest Mohammed Siraj for a few matches after the defeat against Mumbai Indians on April 11. It seems as if Siraj’s IPL 2024 campaign has not started properly yet as his form is going very bad. RCB has played 6 matches, in which they have faced defeat in 5 matches, but that is not visible in Siraj’s bowling. Siraj’s poor form continued against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. This fast bowler of RCB gave 37 runs in his 3 overs and could not take any wicket, as a result Mumbai Indians easily won the match. In IPL 2024, Siraj (Mohammed Siraj) has taken only 4 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 57.25. This is in stark contrast to his IPL 2023 performance, where he took 19 wickets at an average of 19.79. Harbhajan Singh’s big statement regarding Siraj Speaking to Star Sports, Harbhajan advised the RCB management to give Siraj some time to get into form as he has not been able to perform as expected from him this season. “If I were part of the management, I would have rested Siraj for a few matches. Give them a break and time to think about what is going wrong with them. He is the same Siraj whom we have seen taking wickets with the new ball in Test, ODI and T20 cricket. “Siraj has been a champion bowler for Team India and RCB as well. I think he is very tired mentally and physically. They need rest. He is playing too much cricket. He played 4 Test matches against England, he bowled a lot of overs.” RCB’s next match will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad next Monday. It remains to be seen whether RCB management will listen to him or not.
