Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan criticized Hardik Pandya for his captaincy during Mumbai Indians (MI)'s clash against Lucknow Supergiants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and said that 30 years old made a lot of mistakes. The MI captain had a disappointing performance with the bat and was out for a golden duck off the bowling of Naveen-ul-Haq in the sixth over. However, while the bowling captain took two wickets in his four-over spell and conceded 26 runs at an economy rate of 6.50, Pathan took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account and compared MI's performance from last season and Said that even without Jaspri Bumrah in IPL 2023, they qualified for the playoffs "Jasprit Bumrah was not in the Mumbai Indians team that qualified last year but they got his services this season. Still, they are in this position. Pure Because the team was not managed well on the field, captain Hardik Pandya made a lot of mistakes, it is true," Pathan wrote on X.> Jasprit Bumrah was not in Mumbai Indians, the qualifying team last year, but they got his services this season. Still they are in this situation. Purell because the team was not managed well on the field. Their captain Hardik Pandya made a lot of mistakes. This is true.
