IPL 2024: “Learn from Dhoni, on team combination…”- Navjot Singh Sidhu rebuked Hardik Pandya…!
Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 6 wickets against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. Navjot Singh Sidhu & Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Mumbai Indians have had a very disappointing start in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 6 wickets. Batting first, Mumbai Indians were able to score only 125 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Rajasthan Royals chased the target with 27 balls remaining. After the third consecutive defeat this season, Hardik Pandya is being trolled a lot on social media. Former Indian player Navjot Singh Sidhu has given suggestions to Hardik Pandya for the upcoming matches, saying that he should focus on the team combination. Attention should be paid to team combination- Navjot Singh Sidhu After three consecutive defeats in IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya must be feeling a lot of pressure as captain at this time. Cricket commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu says that if Mumbai Indians had won the last two matches, people probably would not have talked. Navjot Singh Sidhu while talking on Star Sports said, ‘There is no such thing as success. If Mumbai Indians had won the last two matches, everyone would have remained silent. I think he (Pandya) should focus on the team combination. When you give away 277 runs, everyone will say that your bowling is not good. The match against Gujarat was close. He was defeated, not humiliated. Navjot Singh Sidhu has also advised Hardik Pandya to learn from Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Sidhu further said, ‘See what Dhoni does. When Devon Conway, who was their leading run-scorer last season, got injured, they got Rachin Ravindra, who is similar and somewhat better. He needs to find that type of replacement. Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the points table with 3 losses in 3 matches. The team will next play against Delhi Capitals on April 7 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
“Have you seen this happening in any other country?”- Ashwin rebuked the fans who trolled Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya & R Ashwin (Photo Source: Hardik Pandya had a very bad start as a player and captain in IPL 2024. Fans are continuously booing Hardik, while he is also being trolled a lot on social media. Let us tell you that before the 17th season, MI had appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain in place of Rohit Sharma. All the fans were very angry with the decision to make Hardik the captain. Hardik had captained Gujarat Titans (GT) in the last two seasons and performed well as captain there. But since getting the captaincy of MI, he has been continuously the target of fans. Meanwhile, India’s veteran spinner R Ashwin has now come out in support of Hardik. He has scolded the fans for misbehaving with Hardik. Ashwin gave class to fans who misbehaved with Hardik Pandya Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “Have you seen this happening in any other country? Have you seen the fans of Joe Root and Jack Crawley fighting? Or have you seen the fans of Joe Root and Jos Buttler fighting? this is madness. Have you seen the fans of Steve Smith and Pat Cummins fighting in Australia? I have said it many times. This is cricket. This is a cinema culture. I know there are things like marketing, positioning and branding. I don’t deny it. I don’t believe in all this from my side but it is not wrong to be involved in it either.” The spinner further said, “Fans war should never go down this useless path. We must remember which country these players represent – our country. Then what is the justification for targeting a cricketer? I don’t think why should a team issue an explanation if you don’t like a player and take aim at a player? We behave as if this has never happened before. Sourav Ganguly played under Sachin Tendulkar and later the opposite happened. Both of them have played under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. All three have played under the captaincy of Anil Kumble and all of them have played under the leadership of Dhoni. When they played under Dhoni, all three were legends. Dhoni has also played under the leadership of Virat.”
