Hardik Pandya is seen captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Under his captaincy, Mumbai's performance this season has been very poor. This season, Mumbai has become the first team to be out of the playoff race.
Ever since Hardik became the captain of Mumbai, many questions are being raised on his captaincy. Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers also called Hardik an arrogant captain. After which now De Villiers has taken a U-turn on his statement and praised Pandya's captaincy.
De Villiers praised openly
Recently, former South African star cricketer AB de Villiers made some comments about Hardik Pandya on his YouTube. After which this statement of De Villiers went viral on social media. Now once again De Villiers said about the captain of Mumbai Indians that I like Hardik's way of playing, I also like the way he is captaining. He has worked a lot on his captaincy style.
Who did De Villiers get angry at?
De Villiers is angry with the way parts of De Villiers' video were cropped and shared on social media and the way his comments on Hardik were highlighted. Regarding this, De Villiers said that the comments made by me on Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians are being spread widely on social media. It was shared after a large part of the video was removed. This is quite a matter of shame. I have said it before and am saying it now that I like Hardik Pandya's game. Hardik keeps showing his strength from time to time.
