Hardik Pandya has had a very poor IPL 2024 campaign and the all-rounder has faced heavy criticism both as a player and captain. Hardik has scored only 197 runs and taken 4 wickets at an economy rate of over 11. MI are ninth in the competition with just three wins and Hardik’s captaincy has drawn a lot of criticism from both fans and experts. With the announcement of the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, Hardik’s selection has come under question and former India fast bowler Varun Aaron has decided to pick in-form Shivam Dube ahead of Hardik for the competition.
Putting forth his point, Aaron said that Hardik was performing well at Gujarat Titans and added that the all-rounder should reconsider his decision to return to MI before the new season.
“Hardik definitely. Hardik is a proven match-winner. I know he is not at his best at the moment. There is a lot of noise around the Mumbai Indians camp. He is taking a lot of pressure. No matter what happens, He must be thinking, I was winning trophies in GT (Gujarat Titans). Why did I come here (laughs). I would say it is unnecessary pressure because you were doing well, Gujarat Titans. I was establishing my legacy in the U.S.,” Aaron told Star Sports.

“But then he has come to Mumbai Indians and I understand why because he loves Mumbai. He loves Mumbai Indians. They gave him the starting platform and through that he has achieved a lot in world cricket. Has done. But you have to see that he has done it.” Really good performance at Titans, so, I think once you take him out of that pressure spot, he will shine,” he said.
