“Where Is Jasprit Bumrah?”: Kevin Pietersen, Sunil Gavaskar Blast Hardik Pandya For Tactical Decision | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former England cricket team batter Kevin Pietersen and legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar were extremely critical of Hardik Pandya's decision to bowl the first over during the match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 on Sunday.

I don't understand this," Pietersen remarked."Very good question. Very, very good question," Gavaskar replied on commentary.Even Irfan Patha...

But CSK chased down the target with more than an over to go.  Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar explained what Royal Challengers Bengaluru could have done differently against Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of the TATA IPL 2024."Yes, try the short ball by all means, but when it wasn't working... it looked like that's all they were looking to do. You had somebody like a Dagar, who had bowled 2 ove...
