Captain Hardik Pandya is being trolled a lot during MI matches. In such a situation, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has defended Hardik. Before the match, Delhi Capitals director Sourav Ganguly requested the fans not to harass their franchise captain Hardik Pandya.

Ganguly defended Hardik

Former Indian captain Ganguly believes that Indian cricket fans should not compare Hardik with former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. Ahead of IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya was made the MI captain in place of Rohit Sharma. Fans are very angry with this decision of the franchise. Sourav Ganguly gave a message to the fans in the press conference before the match between MI and DC. Ganguly said, “Fans should not criticize Hardik Pandya, it is not right.” Rohit Sharma is in a different class, his performance is at a different level. It is not Hardik's fault that the franchise has made him captain.”
