Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya has been coping with so much lately.
To make issues worse, he confronted Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s wrath in the most sought-after IPL conflict between Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. In a final over that value MI 26 runs, Hardik’s three successive mediocre deliveries have been duly dispatched into the stands by Dhoni.
It sort of shook the allrounder, whose distress compounded with the bat as he scored two off six balls.
Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai Indians bowling coach, hoped that the MI supporters cease nitpicking on Hardik. “I don’t know if it will affect his confidence. He is a confident guy, he has been great around the group. In cricket you have good days and bad days and I am seeing an individual who is working bloody hard to improve his skills and plying his trade,” Pollard mentioned after MI’s fourth loss in six video games.
“I am fed up of we looking to pinpoint individuals; cricket is a team game at the end of the day. This is an individual that is going to represent the country in less than six weeks’ time, and all are going to cheer for him and want him to do well. So high time we try to encourage and stop nitpicking and see if we can get the best out of one or the great allrounders India has produced.
“He can bat, bowl and field, and has a X-factor about him. I hope very well deep down within my heart that when he comes out on top, I’ll sit back and watch everyone sing his praises.”
For now, although, as Mumbai Indians embark on a chronic spell away from dwelling, captain Hardik might be hoping to search out successful methods for a struggling group.
