Hardik Pandya’s Mental Health Affected by Booing in IPL Games: Star Criticizes MI Captain’s Trolls

Hardik Pandya has been facing booing from fans whenever he appears for a toss or does something on the field, even at MI’s home-ground Wankhede Stadium. This has led to pressure on him, compounded by Mumbai Indians’ inconsistent start in the IPL 2024. Former cricketer Uthappa believes that Pandya has the potential to be an all-time great for the Indian team and suggests that the pressure from the mocking, trolling, and memes about his fitness might be affecting his mental health. Uthappa emphasizes that as a society, it is not right to subject any human being to this kind of treatment.

He points out the emotional aspect and stresses that it’s unbecoming for a society to laugh along with it. Additionally, Uthappa highlights the vulnerability of public figures, suggesting that while criticism is part of the job, it is important to remember that these individuals are humans too. He concludes by pointing out the beauty of India’s expression of love and support for the Indian cricket team even after a World Cup loss.
