Should Hardik Pandya be dropped for T20 World Cup? NDTV poll results” – Cricket news

The NDTV poll result indicates a divided opinion on whether Hardik Pandya, who has been struggling, should be dropped from the T20 World Cup. Hardik garnered attention before the IPL 2024 season due to his trade from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians, but concerns have arisen about his leadership, rumored friction with team captain Rohit Sharma, and implications for other players. Mumbai Indians’ poor performance in the IPL, with just 6 points from 9 games, has added to the pressure on Hardik. His individual performance has also been underwhelming, with just 197 runs and 4 wickets at an inflated economy rate of 11.95 in 9 matches.

In light of these challenges, NDTV Sports conducted a poll to gauge public sentiment ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 squad announcement. The uniqueness of Hardik’s role as a medium pacer all-rounder for the Indian cricket team, and the lack of viable alternatives, may factor into the selectors’ decision. The uncertainty surrounding Hardik’s form and leadership abilities makes the prospect of dropping him a topic of considerable debate and speculation.
