There is no alternative to Pandya…. Whatever he can do when he is fit…- Agarkar said on Hardik being appointed as VC.
India captain Rohit Sharma and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed a press conference on Thursday, May 2. This press conference was regarding the T-20 World Cup for which the board had recently announced the team. The selectors have appointed Hardik Pandya as the vice-captain for this World Cup, about which there is a lot of talk. Let us tell you that Pandya was named as the vice-captain of the Indian team during the World Cup 2023. After the all-rounder’s disappointing performance as captain and batsman in the current IPL, it was being said that someone else could be appointed as vice-captain in place of Pandya. Agarkar addressed the issue and said that he has confidence in Pandya’s ability. Ajit Agarkar gave a big statement regarding Hardik Pandya He also said that as a player, Pandya has many aspects which make things easy for any captain. Agarkar said, “There was no talk about the vice-captaincy. He has played all the matches for Mumbai Indians so far. We have to play the first match only after a month and a few days. If he is fit, there is no substitute for what he can do. Agarkar Said that he is making a comeback after a long time from injury. We hope he is working on it. He can give a lot of options and balance to Rohit when bowling. Hardik has recovered from an ankle injury before the IPL. There is a lot of anger among the fans over making him the captain of Mumbai in place of Rohit. Hardik, who was struggling with poor form in the IPL as the captain of Mumbai Indians, has surprised the cricket world by being made the vice-captain of the T20 World Cup team. Pandya played his last match for India in the ODI World Cup in October 2023 against Bangladesh.
“MI is losing matches because of him… BCCI has to give him…” – 5 occasions when Irfan Pathan criticized Hardik Pandya
Irfan Pathan believes that the Indian management should not give importance to Hardik Pandya as an all-rounder at the international level. Hardik Pandya & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) 5 Times When Irfan Pathan Criticized Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya is seen struggling with poor form in IPL 2024. Neither his captaincy nor his individual performance has been good for Mumbai Indians this season. Hardik Pandya will play the role of Indian vice-captain in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Fans and cricket experts have criticized the all-rounder’s form a lot. Former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan is also one of those experts. Today let us tell you about those five occasions when Irfan Pathan has criticized Hardik’s captaincy and individual performance. 1. Irfan Pathan believes that BCCI should not give importance to Hardik Pandya. Before the selection of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, Irfan Pathan had said that the Indian management should not give importance to Hardik Pandya as an all-rounder at the international level. While talking on Star Sports Press Room, Irfan Pathan had said, ‘Indian cricket needs to make it clear that they should not give it the same priority as they have given it so far because we have still not won the World Cup. 2. According to Irfan Pathan, Hardik Pandya is the biggest weakness of Mumbai Indians. While sharing a video on his social media, Irfan Pathan had said that Hardik Pandya is the biggest weakness of the Mumbai Indians team. He had said, ‘Mumbai Indians is still a very good team on paper but it is being managed very poorly. Especially, if Hardik Pandya is not in form as a leader, he will become a weak link for his own team. What worries me most is that it is affecting his hitting ability. This is a matter of concern – for the Indian team too. 3. Irfan Pathan held Hardik Pandya responsible for Mumbai Indians’ defeat against CSK. In IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 20 runs against Chennai Super Kings. The major reason for this defeat was the 20th over bowled by Hardik Pandya, in which MS Dhoni hit 3 sixes. After the match, Irfan Pathan criticized Hardik in the Star Sports press room and said, ‘MWhatever match I lost, he (Hardik Pandya) had a big role in it. Even yesterday Akash Madhwal did not bowl the last over. You need to give huge responsibility to Akash Madhwal, this is his job. If he doesn’t bowl then how will he gain confidence? 4. Irfan Pathan raised questions on Hardik Pandya’s captaincy Mumbai Indians reached the playoffs last season despite the absence of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. But this season, despite having both, the team is on the verge of being eliminated. Irfan Pathan had raised questions on Hardik’s captaincy after MI’s defeat against Lucknow and said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah was not in Mumbai Indians, the qualifying team last year, but he is playing this season. Still they are in this situation. Completely because the…
Nehal Wadhera will play for Mumbai and India for many years: Hardik Pandya
Vadhera played a useful innings for MI in difficult conditions against LSG in the IPL yesterday. Nehal Wadhera (Image Credit- Twitter Hardik Pandya, the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team and captaining the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, has given a big statement about the team’s young player Nehal Wadhera. Pandya says that he can play for Mumbai and India for many years. Let us tell you that in the ongoing IPL 2024, Nehal played a useful innings for his team against Lucknow Super Giants yesterday. After the failure of the top 5 batsmen of Mumbai’s batting, Vadhera played a brilliant inning of 46 runs in the middle order, which Hardik Pandya has now been seen praising. Hardik Pandya gave a big statement regarding Nehal Vadhera Let us tell you that after the end of the match between Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians on 30th April yesterday, Hardik Pandya said about Nehal Wadhera during the post match – The way he (Nehal Wadhera) batted against Rajasthan and tonight, He is fantastic. He had performed brilliantly last year also. Due to team combination, he could not play for the team initially. Looking at his talent I can say that he will play for Mumbai and eventually India for many years. Nehal Vadhera’s performance in IPL Nehal Wadhera continues to be a key part of Mumbai Indians’ batting in the IPL with Tilak Verma in the middle order. So if we give you information about his performance in IPL, till now he has played 14 matches for five-time champion Mumbai, in which he has scored a total of 241 runs. However, he comes to bat quite low in Mumbai’s batting line-up. Because of this, his short and cameo innings can prove useful for the team in the times to come.
IPL 2024: This season is going from bad to worse for Hardik Pandya, now he is just waiting for the tournament to end
Hardik Pandya got out on a golden duck in the match against LSG. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) IPL 2024 was played today between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. In this match, Lucknow won the toss and decided to bowl, which seems to be proving correct at the moment. In this match, Mumbai Indians batsmen have looked flopping with the bat. Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma and Hardik Pandya all flopped with the bat. Seeing the poor performance of Mumbai, his fans are trolling him a lot, but the player who is trolled the most is Hardik Pandya. This season is getting worse for Hardik Pandya with every passing match. Hardik has not only failed as a captain this season, but as a player he has also flopped badly this season. Neither are runs coming from his bat nor are he doing anything amazing in bowling. At the same time, after the end of IPL, T20 World Cup is to be played, hence his poor form is becoming a matter of concern for Mumbai Indians as well as Team India. If we talk about today’s match also, he got out after scoring a golden duck. His wicket was taken by Naveen Ul Haq. That Hardik has not been able to play even a single big innings so far this season. His best innings came against Delhi Capitals, where he scored 46 runs in 24 balls. Apart from that, he has not been able to do anything special till now. His condition in bowling has been the same till now, he is hardly getting wickets, but he is scoring runs like water. Hardik Pandya’s performance with the bat continues in IPL season 0(1) vs lsg 46(24) vs DC 10(10) vs RR 10(6) vs PBKS 2(6) vs CSK 21*(6) vs RCB 39(33) vs DC 34(21) vs RR 24(20) vs srh 11(4) vs gt
This player shed blood and sweat to make the team win and Hardik Pandya held him responsible for the defeat.
Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya, were defeated by Delhi Capitals by 10 runs on Saturday. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya, were defeated by Delhi Capitals by 10 runs on Saturday. With this defeat, Mumbai has suffered its sixth defeat of the season. With this average performance, Mumbai is at ninth position this season. Now Hardik Pandya has told why Mumbai team lost the match against Delhi Capitals? Batting first, Delhi scored 257 runs for 4 wickets. The top-4 batsmen of Delhi batted brilliantly. Jake Fraser scored 84 runs, Abhishek Porel scored 36 runs, Shai Hope scored 41 runs and Tristan Stubbs scored 48 runs to help the team score a big score. However, Mumbai had a good start to chase the target given by Delhi. The team lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma (8), Ishan Kishan (20), Suryakumar Yadav (26) cheaply in the powerplay. Tilak Verma played a brilliant inning of 63 runs while Pandya also played a good inning of 46 runs. But the team failed to win due to losing wickets at regular intervals. Who is the reason for the team’s defeat? Explaining the reason for the team’s defeat, Pandya said- “The game is becoming more competitive these days. Earlier the margin of victory used to be of a few overs, now it is the difference of the ball. If I had to pick one reason where we missed the match, I would say we took risks and scored runs in the middle overs. But left-handed batsmen should have batted against Axar Patel. It didn’t work out for us game-wise. Jake Fraser McGurk played very well, taking risks with the bat and using the ground well. His innings reflects his fearlessness.” Tilak held guilty of defeat Hardik Pandya was referring to Tilak Verma. Let us tell you that he scored the most runs for Mumbai and as soon as he got out, the team’s hopes ended. But Hardik in his gestures made him responsible for the defeat. If you pay attention to Hardik’s statement, he said- “If I had to win some matches, we could have taken a little more risk in our overs. Especially the left-handed batsmen could have gone a little more behind the letter. It was a bit of a mistake from a match point of view.”
“Indian cricket should not give him so much importance…”- Irfan Pathan said about Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya is struggling with poor form in IPL 2024. Hardik Pandya & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: X/Twitter/Getty Images) Hardik Pandya is captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, but neither his captaincy nor his individual performance has been good this season. Due to poor form, Hardik’s place in the Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024 is at stake. Meanwhile, former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan has given a big statement regarding Hardik Pandya. Cricket commentator says that the Indian management should not give priority to Hardik Pandya as an all-rounder player at the international level, as he has so far failed to give his best in ICC tournaments. Hardik Pandya has not made that much impact at the international level – Irfan Pathan Irfan Pathan said in the press room show, Ticket to World Cup on Star Sports, ‘Indian cricket needs to make it clear that they should not give him (Hardik Pandya) as much priority as they have given so far, because we have still not won the World Cup. And if you think you are a primary all-rounder, you have to make that kind of impact at the international level. As far as the all-rounder is concerned, he has not made that much impact at the international level, we are only thinking about the potential. Giving the example of the Australian team, Irfan Pathan stressed that the Indian management will have to stop giving priority to any one player. Because everyone in the team is a superstar, and if the team doesn’t do that they will never win big tournaments. Irfan Pathan further said, ‘We are getting confused between IPL performance and international performance. That’s a big difference, first of all he has to play the whole year. Indian cricket needs to stop doing this. Stop prioritizing individuals, if you do, you won’t win big tournaments. What Australia has been doing for many years is that they are really prioritizing the team game. Making everyone a superstar, there is no one superstar, everyone in the team is a superstar.
Pandya got scared when Nuwan Thushara stared at Hardik’s miss fielding, watch this scene before the video gets deleted.
Nuwan Thusara (Photo Source X) Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Highlights, Mumbai had to face defeat in the match against Rajasthan. The team’s fielding while bowling was not good. Along with easy catches, Mumbai players were also failing to stop easy balls. Meanwhile, captain Hardik Pandya also failed to stop the ball from debutant Nuwan Thushara and Rajasthan got four runs due to poor fielding. Nuwan Thushara’s reaction on this was worth seeing, it seemed like Nuwan was very angry at Pandya. 29-year-old Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara made his IPL debut for Mumbai on Monday. Jasprit Bumrah gave him the debut cap. Nuwan, who has a slinging action like Lasith Maling, gave 28 runs in 3 overs. Nuwan’s first over went well, he did not give a single chance to the batsmen to play a big shot. But he could not take even a single wicket. In between, there was an incident when he appeared unhappy with Captain Pandya. Debutant Thushara was bowling the sixth over of the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal got a strike on the last ball of the over. Yashasvi played the ball towards extra cover and hit a beautiful drive through mid-off. Pandya could have easily stopped the ball, but even after diving he could not stop the ball. The ball went beyond the boundary and was given a four. Seeing this, disappointment was clearly visible on Thushara’s face. After this he put on his cap and walked away looking towards the ball. Hardik, on the other hand, did not react to this and remained with a smile on his face. watch video pic.twitter.com/krcXJL5kho — Cricket Videos (@cricketvid123) April 22, 2024 Mumbai Indians won the toss and batted first and scored 179 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Tilak and Nehal made a partnership of 99 runs. Nehal was out after scoring 49 runs while Tilak Verma scored a half-century. Sandeep Sharma took maximum 5 wickets for Rajasthan Royals. In reply, Rajasthan won the match at the loss of one wicket thanks to an unbeaten century by Yashasvi Jaiswal. In this match it was seen that Rajasthan maintained pressure on Mumbai Indians.
“Same nonsense again….” Dale Steyn got angry at Hardik Pandya after Mumbai Indians lost, know what he said?
Dale Steyn is not happy with Hardik Pandya’s statement after the defeat of Mumbai Indians. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Rajasthan Royals have defeated Mumbai Indians by 9 wickets in the match played on 22 April. This is the 5th defeat in 8 matches of the Mumbai team captained by Hardik Pandya. The team has 6 points and is currently at 7th position in the points table. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are at the top position with 14 points. Despite the defeat by 9 wickets, Pandya did not give a concrete statement after the match on the team’s mistakes, problems and his form. Now South African veteran cricketer Dale Steyn has cornered Pandya on social media and has spoken some sharp words. Dale Steyn believes that players smile after losing a match, talk about improving in the next match but then lose. It is noteworthy that, Hardik has been one of the most talked about cricketers in IPL since the start of the tournament. The poor form of all-rounder and captain Pandya has been one of the reasons for the poor performance of Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Against Rajasthan, Hardik once again failed in the field with bat and ball. Speaking after the match, Hardik attributed the defeat to the team’s finishing and said that the team fell behind by 10-15 runs. Hardik Pandya gave statement after losing the match After the match, Pandya said, “We got ourselves into trouble early on. The way Tilak and Nehal batted is commendable. I don’t think we lost two wickets early. Even after losing the wicket, we felt that we would reach 180. We just couldn’t finish well so we fell behind by 10-15 runs. We gave away a lot of runs in the powerplay itself, should have kept the ball on the stumps continuously. At the same time, we did not have a good day in fielding also.” Speaking further, Pandaya said, “Not everyone knows their role. They should think about these mistakes and improve themselves and take care that it does not happen again. I don’t like changing teams constantly. I have to be with the players.” Why is Dale Steyn angry? Dale Steyn is not happy with this statement of Hardik Pandya. He tweeted that players do not express their feelings after losing a match and try to cover up their mistakes. Stan said- I look forward to the day when players will honestly say what is really on their mind. What we do instead is say safe things, then lose the next match, smile and then do the same nonsense again. see tweet I really look forward to the day players might say what’s honestly on their mind. Instead we some how dumbed ourselves and our minds into saying the usual safe thing, lose the next game, smile and then repeat that nonsense again. P.S. Qdk, I love you — Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) April 22, 2024
From whom is Hardik Pandya getting the special jersey of Mumbai Indians? Your eyes will not believe after seeing the picture
The 38th match of IPL 2024 is being played between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians at Jaipur Stadium. Hardik Pandya has achieved a big achievement in this match. Actually, Hardik Pandya is playing his 100th match for the franchise today. Hardik Pandya was a part of Mumbai Indians from 2015 to 2021. MI released him before the IPL 2022 mega auction. After that Pandya was included in their team by Gujarat Titans and made the captain of the team. Under Hardik’s leadership, GT had won the title in the very first season, while the team became the runner-up in the IPL 2023 season. But now Mumbai Indians have called their favorite back into the team and not only this, they have also given him the captaincy of the team. Hardik Pandya was gifted a Mumbai jersey by Mumbai Indians coach and legendary bowler Lasith Malinga to commemorate his 100th match. The number 100 was written in golden letters on this jersey. Malinga gifting the jersey is a bit shocking for the fans because during the opening match of Mumbai, the relationship between Hardik and Lasith Maling was not looking good. A video of Hardik Pandya ignoring Malinga also went viral. In such a situation, gifting him a jersey is a bit surprising for the fans. See the picture here- Talking about the match, Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to bat first. Mumbai has made three major changes in the team for today’s match. Mumbai has given a chance to Nuwan Thushara, Nehal Vadhera in the playing eleven this season. Piyush Chawla has once again returned to the team. While Shreyas Gopal, Romario Shepherd and Akash Madhwal had to go out. At the same time, Rajasthan’s leading bowler Sandeep Sharma has returned to the playing eleven after injury. Sandeep Sharma has been given a chance in place of Kuldeep Sen. Batting first, Mumbai Indians scored 179 runs for 9 wickets. Tilak Verma and Nehal Wadhera saved the team’s innings by making a partnership of 99 runs. Thanks to these two young batsmen, Mumbai has scored a respectable score. Tilak Verma scored 65 runs in 45 balls, while Nehal scored 49 runs in 24 balls. Rajasthan needs 180 runs to win.
IPL 2024: Aaron Finch presented his side regarding out of form Yashasvi Jaiswal and Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya is also captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Hardik Pandya and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-X) Today i.e. on 22nd April, the best match of the Indian Premier League 2024 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Both the teams would definitely like to win this match. However, before this important match, former Australia captain Aaron Finch has presented his side regarding out-of-form players Hardik Pandya and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Let us tell you, Hardik Pandya was injured during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. However, Hardik became completely fit before the Indian Premier League 2024 and that is why he is playing in this tournament. Not only this, Hardik Pandya is also captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Mumbai team has appointed Hardik Pandya as its captain this season in place of Rohit Sharma. The experienced all-rounder has so far scored 141 runs in 7 innings this season at an average of 23.50 and a strike rate of 146.88. Not only this, he has taken only four wickets in bowling. Talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal, his performance has also been quite disappointing in IPL 2024. Yashasvi has scored only 121 runs in 7 matches at an average of 17.29. His highest score this season has been only 39 runs. Finch told Star Sports, ‘My eyes are on two players in this match. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Hardik Pandya. Both these players have failed to show good performance so far this season. There is a lot of pressure on both these players and I think the spotlight will also be on them. T20 World Cup is also coming very soon. I will definitely keep my eyes on these two players: Aaron Finch Aaron Finch further said, ‘So I think Hardik and Yashasvi would like to get back to their great form. One can definitely be selected but I feel that if both the players are to be included in the Indian team then they will have to make significant contribution. India would also like to win another T20 World Cup and that is why I will definitely keep my eyes on these two players. This is going to be a very good match. Rajasthan Royals team has so far won 6 out of 7 matches while they have lost one. All the players from the Rajasthan team have performed well so far and now Yashasvi will also have to play an important role in the victory of his team. 5 Australian players who scored half century in debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
