HARDIK PANDYA'S TURBULENT IPL 2024
Hardik Pandya's move to MI from GT was a controversial one. MI dropped Rohit Sharma from captaincy and decided to bring back Pandya, who had debuted for the side in IPL. The move saw immediate impact on MI's social media accounts as they lost 400,000 followers on Twitter within an hour. Since then, Pandya has been criticised for his on field and off field performances.
GAVASKAR LASHES OUT AT HARDIK

One of the more famous rants on Hardik Pandya came from Sunil Gavaskar who was commentating when CSK visited MI at the Wankhede Stadium. Gavaskar vented his frustration at the last over bowled by Hardik Pandya in MI's defeat to CSK on April 14. Gavaskar lashed out at Hardik Pandya, criticising his bowling and questioning whether MI treated the game as a 'benefit match' for MS Dhoni, who might have played his last professional match at the iconic venue.
Gavaskar's comments came after MS Dhoni hit 3 sixes in the first three deliveries of his 4-ball stay in the final over of the CSK innings. Dhoni made full use of the balls that were bowled in his slot by Hardik Pandya, sending them flying into the stands. Dhoni's late charge made sure CSK, who were at 180 at the end of the 19th over, took their total to 206, which eventually proved to be a winning score in the highly-anticipated IPL Clasico.

"Well so I am pretty certain the Mumbai Indians would have also seen what he was practicing, and so they decided this might be his last game here in Mumbai, so let's also go in the same way, so he can delight the Mumbai crowd," Gavaskar told Star Sports after MI lost the game at home by 20 runs despite Rohit Sharma scoring his 8th hundred in T20 cricket.
"Listen, I'm not going to get over this, I'm not, like all Indians, I'm a fan of him, and I wanted to see him hit a six, but not three back-to-back sixes, this is a length delivery, it's almost like I said, like a benefit match, you know, there's a beneficiary, and you want to make sure that the beneficiary succeeds in his benefit match, doesn't get out first ball, and that's the kind of bowling that was it," he added.
