In the ongoing IPL 2024’s 5th match, the discussion about Hardik Pandya’s captaincy resurfaced as he himself opted to bowl the opening overs for MI against the Gujarat Titans in tonight’s clash.
Despite having pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Luke Wood, Mumbai Indians shouldn’t have encountered any issues in the initial 4 overs of the power play session.
Netizens expressed their frustration after MI’s new captain chose to bowl himself and conceded 20 runs in 2 overs, much to their dismay.
The recent controversy surrounding Hardik’s captaincy of MI has resurfaced, especially after Pandya took over the reins from the in-form Indian captain Rohit Sharma.

Bumrah not bowling first over.
He dropped Akash Madhwal from the team.

Imagine telling a bowler like Bumrah that you won't start with the new ball.. Hardik trying everything in the world to ensure he gets more & more hate 🤣
