Virender Sehwag demanded strict action against players including Hardik Pandya and support staff.

The performance of Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya has been very poor this season. Many veterans have said harsh things about Mumbai’s performance. But Virender Sehwag has suggested to the Mumbai (MI) team management that action should be taken against the support staff and the captain of the Mumbai team. Along with this, he has also given a very strict statement on the team’s batting.
Speaking to Cricbuzz, Sehwag pointed towards Pandya’s batting order. Sehwag says that when Pandya gujarat titans When he played for India, he always batted at number four. At the same time, the entire cricket world was surprised to see Pandya and Tim David coming to bat at number 7 and number 8. Sehwag urged the team owners to raise serious questions about this and suggested that an explanation should be sought behind such a major change in the batting order.
Talking about the batting order of Hardik Pandya and Tim David, Sehwag said that-
“When hardik pandya When he was the captain of Gujarat, he batted continuously at number four. so when he Mumbai What happened when Indians came? I am surprised to see experienced players coming in to bat so late and lower down the order. The team management should take strict action against the players and seek answers from them as to what is really happening and why the batting order has been changed. Here the team captain, batting coach, bowling coach and support staff are all guilty. Team owners need to take a tough stance.”
Are Hardik-David such bad players? – Sehwag
Regarding sending Pandya and David to bat late, Sehwag said-
“KKR had saved Andre Russell for the last overs. But why did Mumbai Indians send Hardik Pandya and Tim David late. What did you get from it? There were still many balls and wickets left. You should have either come to bat early and finished the match early. I don’t understand what they do in the end. Are they (Pandya and David) such bad players that if they come to bat early they will get out?”
