Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya ‘s South Africa tour has not been good at all. Although a strong performance was expected from him, he disappointed everyone with his poor all-round performance. He flopped badly as a batsman and bowler. At the same time, now a big blow has fallen on Hardik Pandya. The cricket board has decided to ban him. Let us know in detail through this article what is this whole matter…
Hardik Pandya is in trouble
IPL 2024 has been nothing less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya. He flopped badly as a player and captain, due to which he had to face a lot of criticism last season. Under his leadership, Mumbai Indians finished the season at the bottom of the points table.
At the same time, the start of IPL 2025 is also not going to be good for Hardik Pandya. The IPL Governing Council has banned him for the first match. Next year he will be seen warming the bench in the opening match.
Will not be a part of so many matches
In their last league match of IPL 2024 against Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians bowlers made a big mistake, for which Hardik Pandya has to pay the price. Actually, the team under his captaincy could not bowl 20 overs on time, due to which the IPL Governing Council imposed a one-match ban on the captain as per the rules. Apart from this, Hardik Pandya also had to pay a fine of Rs 30 lakh. Let us tell you that Mumbai Indians did this for the third time last season.
This player was also banned
It is worth noting that the IPL Governing Council had banned not only Hardik Pandya but also former Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant in IPL 2024. He had to sit on the bench in one match due to slow over rate. Apart from these, Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Harshit Rana also had to face a ban of one match. He misbehaved after dismissing Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Mayank Agarwal.
Due to this the board took strict action against him. Along with this, it is said that the IPL 2025 mega auction will be held in Saudi Arabia on 24 and 25 November, in which bids will be placed on many stalwarts including Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, David Warner.
