New Delhi: The powerful all-rounder of the Indian team has become the number one all-rounder in the ICC T20 rankings just a day ago. Only after this happiness, another news came out, which is not only a big shock for Hardik Pandya, but also the senses of Mumbai Indians would have been blown away. Here, the team preparing for the auction will not get the support of the captain in the first match when the tournament starts. Hardik Pandya will not be able to play the first match. This means that now Mumbai will have to hand over the captaincy to someone else only for one match. Actually, Hardik Pandya was the captain of Mumbai Indians. The team played its last match against Lucknow Super Giants at its home ground Wankhede Stadium. The team could not complete its overs on time. Thus, according to the rules of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Hardik Pandya will have to face a ban of one match, even if he joins a new team. However, he will be seen captaining his old Mumbai team only.
Hardik Pandya was fined Rs 30 lakh for not completing the overs on time in the match, while the playing-12 including other impact players were fined Rs 12 lakh or 50% of the match fee. Let us tell you that this was the third time in the tournament, while the team captained by Hardik Pandya could not complete the over on time and was penalized for slow over rate.
It is noteworthy that the last season was no less than a nightmare for him. He had to face constant criticism from fans for replacing Rohit Sharma. Fans were seen booing him on the field, so his performance was also not very special. Nor was the team able to perform any charisma under his captaincy.
