3 instances when Hardik Pandya hit the headlines due to controversies
In the last 10 years of his competitive cricketing career, Hardik Pandya has not only grabbed eyeballs for his stunning cricketing performances but also for some wrong reasons.
1. Trade deal with Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2023
After the 2024 IPL auction, Mumbai Indians (MI) traded Hardik from GT to avail his services in the 2024 season of the cash-rich T20 tournament. There were reports in the media that Hardik had set the condition that he would only return to MI if he was given the captaincy mantle.
The trade deal between MI and GT happened successfully and MI announced Pandya as their skipper for the 2024 IPL, and Rohit Sharma, who guided MI to five title victories, was removed from the leadership role. The deal didn’t go well with Rohit’s fans as they accused Pandya and MI of insulting the veteran.
