Fans on Twitter reacted after Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya didnโt give the new ball to Jasprit Bumrah in the ongoing game against Gujarat Titans (GT). The 5th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is taking place at the Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad.ย
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field first. It was expected that he would give the new ball to premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah. But that wasnโt the case as the fast bowler didnโt get a taste of the new ball in conditions, which swing early on.ย
Hardik Pandya, instead took the new ball ahead of Jasprit Bumrah. His move didnโt work at all Gujarat Titans openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha showed no mercy and took him to the cleaners in the first two overs that he bowled in the powerplay.ย
On the other end, Hardik Pandya gave the new ball to Luke Wood, who bowled a decent over and gave away only 6 runs. The all-rounder gave the ball to Jasprit Bumrah in the 4th over and the premier fast bowler didnโt take long to make an impact as he delivered a sensational over.ย
Jasprit Bumrah on the last ball of the over bowled a searing yorker that crashed on the stumps and left Wriddhiman Saha left clueless. However, what caught the attention of many was after being picked wicket, Bumrah was taken out of the attack once again.
The game so far hasnโt been going in favor of Hardik Pandya. The all-rounder received huge boos from the crowd when he came at the toss. In the two overs that he bowled, he also gave away 20 runs and didnโt have the kind of impact he wouldโve wanted.ย

He doesn’t give Bumrah even the second over. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ it’s okay to be unique pro max.

How do you even think of bowling the first over when you have Bumrah in team lol. Hardik is crazy.

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

Because Hardik Pandya is the captain, and he thinks he is the most important player of the team. He feels he is the beat bowler and best batsman of the team. Donโt surprise if you see Hardik get angry/scold Rohit/Bumrah/Surya in coming matches

Dear Hardik Pandya, Keep Bumrah away from the ball as long as you can.
Yours sincerely,
GT fans.โ Dhruveel Dave ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ฝ (@DaveDhruveel) March 24, 2024
Just because he got hit with 10 run economy, Hardik stopped pace attack ๐ญ #MIvsGT #HardikPandya #RIPHARDIKPANDYA
