Ian Smith criticized Team India Let us tell you, after this poor performance of Team India in batting, Ian Smith said on Sports 18 – Well, if you ask me, it is worse than being all out for 46 runs. That’s some poor batting and shot selection. I can understand the first Test, but instead of playing themselves, batting for time, India are going after the bowling for some reason. Smith further said- He feels that he can criticize New Zealand’s bowling line-up. This is the second day of the test match. There is still a lot of time, but the way India are playing, none of them will be here to bat for that long.

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
