Irfan wrote in his post, 'Hardik Pandya's captaincy has been average…when the batting was going wild, it was beyond my understanding to keep Bumrah away for a long time.' Irfan Pathan also reacted to Hardik's batting and wrote, 'If the entire team is playing with a strike rate of 200 then the captain cannot bat with a strike rate of 120.'

Along with this, Yusuf Pathan also reacted to Hardik's captaincy on social media. Yusuf wrote in his post, 'SRH has scored 160+ runs in 11 overs and why has Bumrah been given only one over so far? Your best bowler should bowl now… This seems poor captaincy to me.
