Manoj Tiwary Predicts Hardik Pandya to Face Louder Booing in Mumbai as MI Captaincy Replacement Shocks Fans

Manoj Tiwary Predicts Hardik Pandya to Face Louder Booing in Mumbai as MI Captaincy Replacement Shocks Fans

Among the top three teams in the IPL with the most devoted fan bases are probably the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings, and Mumbai Indians. It is an awful fantasy to play against CSK at Chepauk, MI at Wankhede Stadium, and RCB at the Chinnaswamy. Though the team’s support will likely stay the same, MI’s new captain, Hardik Pandya, may receive different treatment this time around. As Hardik takes the field as the MI captain at Wankhede Stadium, former India batter Manoj Tiwary thinks he will hear the most jeers. The reason for this is that the group decided to select Hardik as captain rather than Rohit Sharma. When it comes to most captain victories in the IPL, Rohit and MS Dhoni are tied. Everybody has five titles, even Rohit and Dhoni. However, MI and Rohit have not performed well over the past three years.

Even still, no one could have predicted that Hardik, the Gujarat Titans captain up until the most recent edition, would unseat Rohit as captain. Social media has been a flurry of activity ever since MI announced their decision. During the MI vs. GT match, Hardik was jeered at his home field in Ahmedabad. “It will be interesting to observe how he is received in Mumbai, as I believe there will be more boisterous jeers directed at him. Because no fan—a Mumbai supporter or a Rohit Sharma supporter—expected Hardik to be named captain,” Tiwary stated in an interview with PTI Videos.

Plans for Hardik’s MI captaincy debut did not work out, as the five-time winners fell short against the run-up GT in the previous season. Their first home game is scheduled for April 1 against the Rajasthan Royals; however, their next game is against the Sunirsers Hyderabad. “And Rohit has to give up the captaincy even though he gave the Mumbai Indians five trophies.” I’m not sure why, but I get the impression that the fans are not too fond of it. And that’s the response you witness on the pitch,” he clarified. But Tiwary is pleased with Pandya’s handling of the criticism from fans. “Knowing him, whatever I have been observing of late through television, despite getting bored, he kept his calm, he kept his nerve, which is the sign of a good temperament,” he continued.

In order to be in top shape for the T20 World Cup, which begins in the Americas on June 1, the 38-year-old stated that Pandya will need to tune out the distractions and concentrate on his performance. “I think he needs to perform well to be selected for the Indian World Cup squad, even if he wasn’t jeered. For all players to be eligible for selection, they must both perform well and be in good physical condition. And as the best all-around player, he certainly needs to be in form, and in order to be in form, he needs to deliver,” he remarked.

‘Sorry Bhai…’: Rishabh Pant Apologizes After Cameraperson Is Hit by DC Captain’s Shot

Rishabh Pant led the Delhi Capitals to a stunning four-run victory over Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2024 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday night. Pant was either side’s top scorer, hitting a 43-ball 88 to help DC beat the former champions by 224/4.

Pant smashed five fours and eight sixes during his blistering performance. Unfortunately, one of his massive sixes resulted in a cameraman from the BCCI production crew being hit during the tournament.

Pant apologized to the crew member and wished him a speedy recovery in a video message sent after the match, alongside DC head coach Ricky Ponting.

“Sorry Debashish bhai, I did not intend to hit you, but I believe you will recover well and wish you luck,” Pant said in a video published by IPL on their social media account on X.

Pant has returned to competitive cricket in fine form after more than a year recovering from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident in December 2022. The ongoing IPL is his first competitive event, and he’s been fairly effective with the bat and behind the stumps as well.

“Every day that I’m in the middle, I feel better,” Pant remarked after the game on Wednesday. “Every hour on the field is valuable; I enjoy being on the field. I strive to give everything my all, which sometimes takes some time. I believe that the first six points in a match give me confidence in the game. The longer I spend in the core, the better I feel.”

Mohit Sharma Concedes 73 Runs, Sets Record for ‘Worst Bowling Figures’ in IPL History

During Wednesday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Mohit Sharma let up the most runs in his four overs—73—which is the lowest total in the league.

In the final over, Rishabh Pant struck 31 runs with four sixes and one four, forcing Mohit to give up.

Sandeep Warrier struck in his second over, dismissing both of Delhi’s openers and taking a third wicket, as Shubman Gill continued to have faith in his opening bowlers. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, the spin team, were unable to fully dominate the middle segment, though.

Given that Sai Kishore had not bowled a ball before this game, Gill may have erred by not believing in Warrier for the 19th over and instead placing him in danger.

With the help of a scorching century partnership between Pant and Axar Patel as well as rapidfire half-centuries, Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans 224/4. After DC was down 44 for 3 in 6 overs, Pant and Axar used their counterattacking hitting to stitch 113 off just 68 balls for the fourth wicket.

Pant and Axar attempted to form a partnership when trailing three wickets, but once they were set, they launched a vicious attack.
