Irfan Pathan on Hardik Pandya : In IPL 2024, the match was played between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians yesterday at MI's home ground. In this match, Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai Indians team captained by Hardik Pandya by 6 wickets. This was Mumbai Indians' third consecutive defeat. This crushing defeat was disappointing for many cricket pundits, including fans who were already angry with Hardik Pandya. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan is also one of them. Pathan, who raised questions on Pandya's batting in the second match against Hyderabad, has once again targeted Pandya.
Pathan once again targeted Pandya
During and after the match between Mumbai and Rajasthan, Irfan Pathan made half a dozen tweets one after the other. In which he praised Riyan Parag's batting wholeheartedly. Jasprit Bumrah explained the reason for the decision to give the first over. But the most discussed was the tweet in which Pathan is giving his opinion on captaincy. Irfan wrote, 'You always want your leader to do the most difficult work. If he does not do this, he will not get respect from his team.
Hardik's slow batting was criticized
Mumbai Indians also had to face defeat in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In that match, every MI batsman batted at a strike rate of 200 or more to chase the target of 278 runs. Captain Hardik Pandya was the only batsman who disappointed everyone with his slow batting. At that time, Pathan had written on Twitter, 'If the entire team is batting at a strike rate of 200, then the captain cannot bat at a strike rate of 120.'
