Who warned Hardik?

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.
