Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu dared critics to boo at star all-rounder Hardik Pandya after his cameo at the T20 World Cup. The stature of the Baroda star saw a meteoric rise through the marquee event in the USA and the Caribbean with performances from both bat and most importantly, from the ball. Taking a dig at those who criticized Hardik before and during IPL 2024, Rayudu lauded the star for making an unbelievable comeback which helped India lift the trophy.
Can you boo Hardik Pandya now?
“I think it is great on his part. Such great mental strength and now I dare anybody to boo him in India. He’s an amazing guy, an amazing human being, and that’s why that’s why he could come through this storm, get through this storm that he had just a few months back and to come back that strongly is unbelievable and you know he’s a world champion now,” Ambati Rayudu said on Star Sports.
