In the current IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, has been inconsistent. His performance with the ball has been problematic, despite his ability to score 197 runs at a strike rate of 150.38 with the bat. Throughout his ten games played thus far, right-arm pacer Hardik Pandya has claimed six wickets at an average of 42.16 and an economy of 11.
After much anticipation, the BCCI has finally revealed the India T20 World Cup squad, which consists of 15 players captained by captain Rohit Sharma and vice captain Hardik . The biggest news is the return of star batsman Virat Kohli, along with some exciting additions.
Since KL Rahul is not playing for the team, Hardik will be the vice-captain for the first time. His white ball journey is consistently inconsistent, but he also consistently emerges as one of the best players under trying circumstances. In addition to being named in India’s 15-man squad for the T20 championship, Hardik Pandya will be Rohit Sharma’s deputy as the team’s captain.
Nobody Takes Over Hardik Pandya Ajit Agarkar Answers To Concern
During yesterday’s press conference, Ajit Agarkar stated that the question of whether Hardik Pandya should be the vice captain was not discussed. He also mentioned how important the all-rounder’s fitness is to the team. The skill set Hardik Pandya brings to the table, according to Agarkar, is uncommon right now.
Agarkar said. “He (Pandya) has got through all games so far for the Mumbai Indians. We have a month and a little bit for our first game. As long as he is fit, there is no replacement for what he can do,”
Hardik Pandya’s form a concern for India
The MI skipper Hardik Pandya has had a forgettable IPL 2024 as the change in team for Hardik hasn’t worked well for him. It won’t be wrong to say that there are differences in MI camp as the team lacks co-ordination. Perhaps, the decision to make Hardik as a finisher has backfired by MI’s management & coaching setup.
