Hardik Pandya endured a tough time at the IPL after he was named the captain of the Mumbai Indians replacing Rohit Sharma . Wherever he went, Hardik Pandya was booed by the fans. Mumbai Indians' lackluster display in the IPL 2024 did not help matters. The five-time champions finished last among the 10 teams to slump to its worst-ever display in  the IPL. Hardik Pandya's India and MI teammate Jasprit Bumrah has now opened up on the issue. On Hardik Pandya being booed and the T20 turnaround, Bumrah had a blunt take.  "You have to take it on your chin. That's where the inner circle comes in. We, as a team, don't encourage that, we don't promote that. We don't think that's warranted. We were with him (Hardik), talking to him, if he needed support. Certain things are beyond your control. If it happened, it happened. The narrative just changed, when we won the World Cup. This is part of the journey. It's us against the world. We will try to give as muc...

Indian cricket team wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant scored 35 off 32 balls for Purani Dilli 6 in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) match against South Delhi Superstarz on Saturday. While the pace of the innings was not similar to Pant's general approach, his struggles against spin drew major criticism on social media. Pant's knock had 4 fours and one six but ended up with a strike rate of just 109. Pant had a good showing at the T20 World Cup 2024 but was unable to play big knocks - something that the fans pointed out as the expectation was for him to score big at the top of the innings. Before the match, the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter was felicitated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla for his fine performances in India's ICC T20 World Cup triumph. DDCA President Mr. @rohanjaitley and BCCI Vice President Mr. @shuklarajiv honored Rishabh Pant for his...
