After what was a brief pause between the IPL 2024 and the T20 World Cup, a section of fans have resorted to mocking and booing Hardik Pandya again. The all-rounder has been in the eye of the storm since he replaced Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians skipper in December 2023.
After being booed across venues during the IPL, Pandya had some respite, owing to his all-round heroics in the T20 WC. It looks like the chants and the boos are back to haunt Hardik once again.
