If wickets fall, Hardik moves ahead…: Former cricketer's counterattack after MI's defeat – News India Live

IPL 2024 RR vs MI, Irfan Pathan on Hardik Pandya: In the Indian Premier League 2024, on 22 April, Mumbai Indians once again faced defeat against Rajasthan Royals. Mumbai Indians have been able to win only three out of eight matches and MI captain Hardik Pandya is constantly the target of critics. For Rajasthan Royals, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a century and Sandeep Sharma took five wickets. After this match, Irfan Pathan has shared a video on social media in which he has praised Yashasvi Jaiswal but at the same time he has once again targeted Hardik Pandya. Along with this, Irfan Pathan said that the kind of form he is in is not good for Team India.

Irfan Pathan praised Yashasvi Jaiswal

Praising Yashasvi Jaiswal, Irfan Pathan said that even when he was not scoring much runs in the initial matches, he was scoring runs at a strike rate of 140. This is why it is so praised. Irfan said that Hardik Pandya is looking for easy ways to return to form in IPL and in such a situation you do not get respect from your teammates.

If the wicket falls then Hardik leads the second one.

When the openers score runs, they come up the batting order and when wickets fall soon, David and Nehal Wadhera lead the team. This way you don't get respect in the team. Along with this, Irfan Pathan said that Hardik Pandya's hitting power is decreasing, this is not a good thing for Team India. Hardik Pandya has been made the captain of Mumbai Indians this season but the performance of the team looks very poor this season. Mumbai Indians are now in danger of being out of the playoff race.
