'It is not Hardik's fault', Sourav Ganguly supports Mumbai captain

IPL 2024: IPL 2024 has been no less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians. In the current season, Mumbai Indians team has lost its first three matches. Ever since Mumbai Indians announced that Pandya will captain the five-time champion team, he has been facing the wrath of the fans. He was booed in his first match at the home ground of his previous franchise Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. This trend continued even when he went to Hyderabad for the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Hardik was also booed when Mumbai Indians played their first home match of the season against Rajasthan Royals. Now Sourav Ganguly has said a big thing on this.

Sourav Ganguly said this

Sourav Ganguly said during the training session of Delhi Capitals that I do not think they should boo Hardik Pandya. This is not correct. Because the franchise has appointed him as the captain. This is what happens in sports. You captain India or captain a state or captain your franchise. You are appointed captain.

'It is not Hardik's fault'

Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Ganguly said that he has been appointed as the captain. Certainly if we look at Rohit Sharma, he is a different kind of player. His performance for this franchise as a captain and as a player and his performance for India has been on a different level. But it is not Hardik's fault that he has been appointed captain. We all need to understand this. Mumbai Indians will face Delhi Capitals here on Sunday.

Has won the title five times

Mumbai Indians have won the IPL trophy five times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. But the team could not perform well in IPL 2024. In the first match, the team lost against Gujarat by 6 runs, against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 31 runs and against Rajasthan Royals by 6 wickets.
