Former Indian cricket team star Hemang Badani was left 'worried' ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 after Mumbai Indians' disappointing run in the ongoing IPL 2024.

Mumbai Indians, which features both India captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Hardik Pandya, were the first team to crash out of the playoffs race and after the loss against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday, they now have just 4 wins in 13 matches in the tournament.

Badani took to social media to express his thoughts and said that it is concerning for India that both Rohit and Hardik will not be part of the IPL playoffs just ahead of the T20 World Cup. "Indian captain and vice captain out of the IPL.

What does that speak of our quality depth and our chances.Trolls stay away.. If you have something objective to add then pls do.I for one am very worried about team India!" Badani wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been in the headlines constantly over the past couple of months. Ever since his transfer to the Mumbai Indians, especially as captain, the charismatic cricketer has been in the news, mostly for wrong reasons. The veteran cricketer failed to inspire Mumbai Indians side in the Indian Premier League 2024, finishing bottom of the 10-team points table. However, Hardik seemed to be getting back to his old form, having scored 23-ball 40 for India in the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match against Bangladesh on Saturday.
