"Too Many Mistakes": Irfan Pathan Slams Hardik Pandya After MI Lose To LSG

Lucknow : Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan slammed Hardik Pandya for his captaincy during the Mumbai Indians' (MI) clash against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and said that the 30-year-old made too many mistakes.

The MI skipper put up a disappointing performance while batting as he was dismissed for a golden duck in the sixth over by Naveen-ul-Haq. However, while bowling the skipper picked up two wickets in his four-over spell and gave away 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 in IPL 2023 even without Jasprit Bumrah they qualified for the playoffs.

"The team mumbai Indians that qualified last year didn't had Jasprit Bumrah but this season they had his services. Still they are in this situation. Purely because the team wasn't managed well on the ground. Too many mistakes by their captain Hardik Pandya. It's the truth," Pathan wrote on X.
