Sourav Ganguly urges fans not to ‘boo’ Hardik Pandya

Ahe of start of MI vs DC IPL 2024 match, Delhi's director of cricket, Sourav Ganguly has urged MI fans to not "boo" ir franchise captain. According to Ganguly, it is not fair to compare Hardik with Rohit Sharma, and he hasn't done anything to deserve such hostility from fans.

"Fans shouldn’t boo Hardik Pandya, it’s not correct. Rohit Sharma is a different class, his performance has been on a different level. But it's not Hardik’s fault that he has been appointed as captain by franchise," said Ganguly.

Hardik Pandya's captaincy tenure has taken off with a horrible start. team has lost three matches on trot, and y are eager to attain ir first victory in IPL 2024. Aside from horrible results, team's atmosphere also is seemingly not conducive to producing ideal results. According to reports, former captain Rohit Sharma and new skipper Hardik Pandya do not see eye to eye on many subjects, hence, tensions are prevailing in camp.
