Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya got injured before IPL 2024. He suffered an injury during the 2023 ODI World Cup due to which he was away from cricket for a few months. Now Hardik Pandya, who is captaining Mumbai in IPL, is making a big claim that he is injured but he is not able to believe it.
Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Dooley believes that Hardik Pandya is injured. Hardik bowled in the first two matches of the season but did not bowl in the next two matches and then bowled just one over in the fifth match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Hardik's absence from the bowling is raising suspicion in Simon Dooley's mind that the Mumbai captain is injured.
Speaking on Cricbuzz, Simon Dooley said, 'You set an example by bowling the first over in the first match and then suddenly you were not needed. he is injured. I'm saying there's something wrong with him. He can't believe it. This is my inner feeling'.
Hardik was questioned about not bowling against Delhi. Hardik replied that he will bowl 'at the right time'.
