Hardik Pandya banned!

Hardik Pandya was in the news a lot during IPL 2024. Before this season, he left Gujarat Titans and again joined Mumbai Indians. The team management had removed Rohit Sharma and handed over the command of the team to this all-rounder. However, MI fans were very angry with this decision. Let us tell you that after Hardik was made the captain, this team was divided into two parts.

This also had an impact on the team's performance. This team was at the bottom position in the points table. Hardik Pandya was criticized a lot. Besides, this player was also banned for slow over-rate. According to BCCI rules, if a captain repeats this mistake three times, he misses one match.
