Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya drew criticism after SunRisers Hyderabad batters played a brilliant record-breaking inning against Mumbai Indians on March 27, Wednesday. SRH hosted MI in the eighth clash of the tournament, where batting first, Hyderabad posted a mammoth total of 277 runs, recording the highest-ever score in the tournament's history. The poor effort by Mumbai bowlers once again put Pandya in hot waters, and experts questioned his captaincy.
Former South African cricketer and commentator Kevin Pietersen said, "Hardik Pandya would like to forget this day. Looked completely clueless as captain today. Haven't seen this kind of performance from Mumbai Indians ever.” Former CSK player and commentator Ambati Rayudu was also one of those who questioned Pandya’s captaincy and said "I haven't seen Mumbai Indians bowling this bad in my career. Seems like Hardik Pandya hasn't come up with any plan." Check the top betting trends on the best betting apps in India and sites.
Former Indian player Irfan Pathan tweeted, “The captaincy of Hardik Pandya has been ordinary to say the least. Keeping Bumrah away for too long when the carnage was on was beyond my understanding.”
In the commentary box, he said, "Hardik Pandya has done the mistake again to not give first over to Jasprit Bumrah. Don't know what he's thinking."
Talking about the match, several records were broken and fans witnessed a thrilling clash as Hyderabad scored 277 runs with the loss of three wickets.
