Sunil Gavaskar Criticizes Hardik Pandya After MS Dhoni’s Fiery Knock in Worst Kind of Bowling

Hardik was the pick of the MI bowlers with two wickets but he was slammed for 20 runs by Dhoni in the final four balls of the CSK innings. Gavaskar criticized Hardik for his ‘ordinary bowling and ordinary captaincy,’ mentioning the kind of deliveries that he produced. Gavaskar’s analysis during the mid-innings break included comments on the interaction between Hardik and Dhoni just ahead of the match.

This interaction featured a moment where Hardik ran to Dhoni and hugged the former India skipper, which went viral on social media. Rohit played a brilliant knock but the hosts kept losing wickets at regular intervals. An impressive four-wicket haul from Matheesha Pathirana ensured victory for CSK.

Earlier, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube slammed half-centuries, while Dhoni provided a late flourish against Hardik’s bowling to take CSK’s total to 206. As a result of this victory, CSK remained in the third position, while the Mumbai Indians are in eighth place in the competition with just four points from six matches.
