Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya faced another disappointing performance with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. And, X, formerly known as Twitter users reacted again. The 48th match between the five-time champions and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is currently taking place at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Mumbai Indians have encountered various difficulties in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. When asked to bat first, the five-time champions found themselves under immense pressure and struggling at 27/3, with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma dismissed.
Given the team’s predicament, it was anticipated that skipper Hardik Pandya would lead from the front and rescue them from trouble. However, the all-rounder couldn’t deliver as his struggle with the bat persisted in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Hardik Pandya was dismissed for a golden duck by Naveen-ul-Haq. The fast bowler delivered a pitched-up ball, prompting the all-rounder to attempt a straight drive. However, Pandya edged the ball, which was caught by KL Rahul behind the stumps.
With Pandya’s wicket, Mumbai Indians found themselves struggling at 27/4. Despite scoring 45 runs in the previous game, the all-rounder faced another setback in the league. In IPL 2024 overall, Pandya has accumulated 197 runs in 10 innings, averaging 21.88 with a strike rate of 150.38.
This marked Hardik Pandya’s third golden duck in the IPL. The all-rounder will be eager to contribute with the ball now. For Mumbai Indians to have any hope of winning the game, Pandya must elevate his performance not only with the ball but also in his leadership as captain.
