The possibility of Hardik Pandya joining India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad has recently generated discussion among cricket experts and enthusiasts. The 30-year-old has dominated conversation for the first three weeks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, which is currently underway. Since Pandya was named the Mumbai Indians’ new captain ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League, fans have been deeply disappointed by the contentious choice that replaced India’s all-format captain Rohit Sharma.
At several stadiums, including the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, and the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the newly appointed captain of MI has been met with loud jeers.
In addition, MI’s IPL 2024 campaign began under Hardik with three straight losses; however, the five-time IPL champions recovered with back-to-back victories in their subsequent two matches.
