Dav Whatmore criticizes Hardik Pandya

Every cricketer wants to play for their country but most important is test cricket which is an elite format as it teaches you the real technique of cricket. Many players have chosen to play test cricket over white ball cricket. Hardik Pandya has disappeared from red-ball cricket and hasn’t turned up since 2018. Baroda Coach Dav Whatmore criticizes Hardik Pandya over this for not playing test cricket and bags the tag of ‘All Rounder’. Dav Whatmore said:

“There’s still some individuals who don’t play white-ball cricket. For example, in my last few years in Baroda, Hardik Pandya wouldn’t ever play white-ball cricket. It always amuses me that he’s termed as the all-rounder from Baroda but he hasn’t played for Baroda for years! So, yes, some don’t do that,” said Whatmore.

“But recently, I’ve seen that the BCCI has been keen that players participate in the Ranji Trophy as well as the other two formats to ensure they see cricket as sports. Efforts are made to make sure 4-day cricket is not neglected.”

Hardik Pandya has faced many backlashes since he returned to his home team Mumbai Indians and was also appointed as captain which turned into negativity all fans started booing him during matches but later same fans started cheering and chanting his name when Indian team was invited to Wankhede Stadium for the celebrations of T20 World Cup. Now Hardik Pandya has been sacked as captain and Surya Kumar Yadav has been appointed as captain of T20Is.
