Hardik Pandya in T20 World Cup
The ‘TINA’ factor may have guaranteed Hardik Pandya a spot in the T20 World Cup.
The ‘There Is No Alternative’ (TINA) factor is likely to guarantee Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya a position in the Indian team for the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be co-hosted by the United States of America and the West Indies. The Indian all-rounder has no competition for his slot because the other candidates don’t bat or bowl as frequently as the Mumbai Indians captain, according to Press Trust of India (PTI).
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is under a great deal of pressure to select the best players from a pool of extremely talented and world-class players because the deadline for announcing the temporary 18-man squad (15 members of the squad plus 3 reserves) is May 1.
‘Automatic Selections’ was the name given by PIT to the group of players that comprised players like Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rohit Sharma. The likes of Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag, two incredibly gifted players who are dominating the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 for their respective teams, are discouraged by these rumors, though.
Hardik Pandya’s Dismal Indian Premier League 2024 In Numbers
Due to the player receiving constant abuse from the left, right, and centre, both on and off the field, Hardik Pandya has not been having a good IPL 2024. The 30-year-old has been the target of intense hostility ever since the famous Rohit Sharma was ousted as the Mumbai Indians’ captain. Fans who watch live games have made their voices known by consistently jeering the player.
Hardik Pandya’s performances have been impacted in one way or another by this, as he has only scored 151 runs in eight innings and has not yet recorded a fifty. With just 4 wickets in 6 innings at a dismal economy rate of 10.94, the all-rounder’s poor bowling performances are very worrying.
