Hardik Pandya shares an update on Twitter, fans lash out at him for poor show

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya had a grand start in the ongoing tour of South Africa. In the very first Test of the tour, it was Pandya who had kept India alive in the game for a long time. Also, he had chipped in with key wickets in the match. However, he has failed to replicate his heroics in the matches that followed. The final two Tests were disappointing for him.

And now, in the ODI series, he has only looked like a shadow of what he promised to be in the limited overs cricket. For the South African batsmen, he has been the easiest target to score runs. Also, with the bat, Hardik Pandya has failed to latch on to his opportunity. In the Cape Town ODI, Pandya was promoted ahead of MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav.

The Baroda all-rounder did not make full use of the opportunity he got and perished cheaply. The Indian team has now arrived in Johannesburg. It is the same venue where their fortunes had started to turn on the tour. India had registered a consolation win at the venue in the final Test. Since then, they have won three ODIs in a row to have an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the 6-match series.

It is worth noting that Jo’burg has traditionally been a happy hunting ground for the Indian side. Amidst this backdrop, Hardik posted a selfie on his social media handle when the Indian team landed in Johannesburg. The happy faces of the Indian team are seen smiling in the picture.

Here is what Hardik Pandya tweeted:

Well, the Indian team looked all smiles in the picture, the fans did not look too impressed with Hardik Pandya. They were severe in their criticism for the young all-rounder. Many fans lashed out at Pandya in response to the post. They asked him get back to the drawing board and focus more on the game rather than spending time elsewhere. The fans certainly did not look impressed with the way Pandya has fared up in the series thus far.

Here is how the fans lashed out at Hardik Pandya:
