[ad_1] Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody has raised questions over Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson's captaincy during their defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2024.

“Complete Cinema Culture”: R Ashwin Blasts Fan Wars While Reacting On Hardik Pandya Getting Booed | Cricket News

[ad_1] Hardik Pandya is probably the most talked about Indian cricketer right now. If replacing five-time IPL champion Rohit Sharma at the helm of Mumbai Indians wasn't enough, the poor start to his leadership role at the franchise in IPL 2024 have made things worse for Pandya. Everywhere he goes, even on social media, the hate surrounding Pandya is there for all to see. For India's best fast bowling allrounder, Pandya definitely is under pressure, more so from the outside. Hardik Pandya's Indian cricket teammate R Ashwin has spoken on the issue."Hardik Pandya getting booed is really bad! Should MI management step in and owe an explanation to the fans?
