Hardik Pandya’s mental health affected by booing in IPL games, says cricket star criticizing MI captain’s trolls.

Hardik Pandya has been consistently booed by fans whenever he appears for the toss or does something on the field, including at MI’s home-ground Wankhede Stadium. This has put him under pressure, especially with Mumbai Indians’ inconsistent start in the IPL 2024.

According to Uthappa, Pandya has the potential to be an all-time great for the Indian team, but he has had to deal with a lot, including being let go by the team that first discovered him and facing mocking, trolling, and memes about his fitness. Uthappa believes that this treatment has taken a toll on Pandya’s mental health.

Uthappa expressed that it is not right for people to impose this kind of treatment on any human being, and that as a society, it is unbecoming to laugh along with it. He emphasized that it is their job as players to perform, but the public should not subject them to such harsh criticism and judgment.

Lastly, Uthappa reflected on the positive aspect of the country’s expression of love and support for the Indian team, particularly in contrast to the criticism they faced after losing the World Cup.
