In the clash against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede, Hardik Pandya was smashed for 15 runs in his over. He bowled the tenth over of the inning. Shivam Dube took Pandya apart with three boundaries in the over. While he smashed a short ball, the other was hit towards fine leg. Pandya then bowled a slower delivery, and was hit to the fine leg.

Social media users had mixed emotions about the skipper’s bowling. While some stated that he was flopping both in the batting and bowling department, others said he lacked pace and control. Some appreciated Shivam Dube for his brilliant shot making. Others said that he deserved the boos. One pointed out that he should not bowl in pressure situations.

Field setup, bowling change , fielding and most of all the Captaincy, all are worst for MI this season. Unexpected @Mum Pandya deserves wooing.#CSKvsMI #MIvCSK #HardikPandya #RohitSharma #IPL24 #RuturajGaikwad

With Hardik Pandya either not bowling or not bowling well and the kind of form Shivam Dube is in, it would not be a surprise if Dube is preferred over Pandya in playing XI.

Starting to believe Simon Doull, Hardik Pandya’s one over today was bizarre lacked any pace or control

In a normal situation, Romario bowling more overs than him makes no sense#IPL2024#MIVSCSK
