NEW DELHI: India all-rounder and vice-captain Hardik Pandya has recently been the subject of significant speculation regarding his personal life. On the professional front, Pandya has faced considerable challenges, particularly during the recent Indian Premier League season.
Pandya took over the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians from Team India skipper Rohit Sharma before the start of the IPL. This decision did not sit well with MI fans, leading to Pandya being booed multiple times during the tournament. Under his leadership, the five-time champions not only failed to qualify for the playoffs but also finished last in the 10-team tournament's league stage.
