Who warned Hardik?
In the last two matches, Hardik Pandya has faced criticism from former cricketers, social media users and fans present in the stadium. Hardik was also defamed many times. Many slogans were raised against him by the crowd. Keeping all these things in mind, former cricketer Manoj Tiwari has warned Hardik Pandya. He said that this is just the beginning. Hardik's real test will be at Wankhede ground. This is the home ground of Mumbai Indians. The fans here are die-hard fans of captain Rohit Sharma, who has won the trophy five times for the team.
What did Manoj Tiwari say?
Regarding this, Manoj Tiwari said, 'Rohit gave five trophies to Mumbai and suddenly removing him from the captaincy and giving this role to Hardik, the fans did not like. When Rohit reached Mumbai he got a terrible welcome. In such a situation, considering the form so far, Hardik will be tested in Mumbai. On April 1, Mumbai Indians will play their first match against Rajasthan Royals at their home ground Wankhede.
Tiwari praised Hardik
However, Manoj Tiwari has also praised Hardik Pandya. He said, 'Hardik Pandya maintained his composure despite the constant hustle and bustle during both the matches. He was not nervous. This is a sign of his good nature. It is worth noting that Hardik Pandya's debut as captain of Mumbai Indians was not good. The team lost against Gujarat by 6 runs and then against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 31 runs.
