Hardik Pandya’s “Hitting Ability” Critiqued by Irfan Pathan in Cricket News

The performance of Hardik Pandya in IPL 2024 has raised concerns about his form and impact on the Indian limited over side. As a middle-order batter, Pandya’s numbers in T20s have not been satisfactory, with a score of 151 in eight matches at a strike-rate of 142.45, and only four wickets taken with the ball.

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan expressed worry about Pandya’s hitting ability and performance on pitches that offer little assistance. Furthermore, Robin Uthappa, a former member of the Indian cricket team, discussed Pandya’s challenges as the captain of Mumbai Indians and the trolling he endured.

Uthappa highlighted the impact of the mocking, trolling, and fitness memes on Pandya’s mental health, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding towards individuals dealing with such issues.
