Virender Sehwag’s Blunt Message For Hardik Pandya’s Critics: “Rohit Sharma Did Not Even Win…

The Mumbai Indians (MI) have just six points from 8 matches and are currently in a tough spot, needing to win all of their remaining matches to qualify for the playoffs. Hardik Pandya, who plays as an all-rounder and also captains the team, has been under scrutiny for his subpar performances.

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag remarked that Pandya might be feeling the pressure due to the high expectations from him, but emphasized that the team has been in similar situations before and has the potential to turn things around. Sehwag also pointed out that Pandya used to bat at No.

4 for the Gujarat Titans, but in a recent match against the Rajasthan Royals, he came out to bat at No. 7 despite his team losing three quick wickets in the powerplay.

Sehwag stressed the importance of Pandya batting higher up the order to give himself more opportunities to make an impact, suggesting that improved batting performance could positively affect his bowling and captaincy skills as well. In conclusion, Sehwag advised Pandya to focus on his individual performance and not let the pressure of captaincy or the expectations affect his game.

He encouraged Pandya to take charge of his batting position and give himself the best chance to succeed, in turn, helping the team to perform better collectively.
