India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya is currently out of the national set-up due to his fitness concerns. He was subsequently dropped for the home T20Is against New Zealand and was sent back to the NCA to recover.

Hardik Pandya hasn’t been in good form of late. He disappointed one and all with his below-par performance in the T20 World Cup 2021. The all-rounder was on the receiving end of trolls for throwing his wicket away by playing rash shots

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya, who had courted controversy earlier with comments made on a popular chat show, is hogging the headlines again after a video surfaced on social media showing Pandya shrugging off a fan’s hand from his shoulder while taking selfies.

Pandya was spotted stepping out of a restaurant and soon fans gathered around him to take photos with him. After clicking a selfie with Pandya, one of the fans kept his hand on the cricketer’s shoulder for another selfie, but Pandya removed his hand immediately, obliged another fan for a selfie-and walked away.

Here’s the video:

An Instagram user commented in Hindi, “Someone does not seem to like hands being kept on his shoulder.” Another user Shweta Sood wrote, “Why does he have so much attitude?”

Meanwhile, a few others were also of the opinion that if the all-rounder was really concerned about the COVID-19 protocols, then he would have at least wore a mask in the first place.

Will Hardik Pandya earn big bucks at the IPL 2022?

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya was released by Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2022 auction due to his form and injury concern. There are reports that Hardik Pandya could be picked by the Ahmedabad-based franchise in the pre-draft before the auction.

However, if he lands in the mega auction, the all-rounder could earn big bucks in the auction despite speculations that his lower-back injury could impact his price and value at the auction

There is no doubt that he is a proven customer and can win matches single-handedly. He has been an integral part of five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians and is expected to fetch big bucks in the auction.

Hardik Pandya has scored 1476 runs for Mumbai Indians in IPL so far which came at an average of 27.33 and picked 42 wickets as well.
