"I'm Staggered": England Great's Bombastic Take On IPL Crowd Booing Hardik Pandya
The appointment of Hardik Pandya as the Mumbai Indians skipper ahead of IPL 2024 resulted in a massive controversy both among experts as well as fans and things have not improved as the five-time champions slumped to three consecutive losses in the competition. Hardik ended Rohit Sharma's ten-year tenure as MI skipper after completing a trade move from Gujarat Titans and the crowd reaction towards him has been less than desirable. He was booed in the first three matches including a home game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai - an incident that resulted in commentator Sanjay Manjrekar asking the crowd to "behave" themselves.
