Mumbai Indians Teammate Ishan Kishan's Honest Verdict On Hardik Pandya Being Booed
Another match at the Wankhede Stadium for Mumbai Indians, another occasion where their captain Hardik Pandya was booed by the fans. Since the start of the tournament it has been the same story, with fans vocally expressing their displeasure at the fact that Hardik replaced Rohit Sharma as the captain of Mumbai Indians. On Thursday, the star of Royal Challengers Bengaluru Virat Kohli had to step in and ask the fans to stop jeering Hardik, as he is an India international player. After the match, even MI wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan was asked about the subject in the press conference.
"Talking about Hardik Pandya. He loves challenges. He has been in this situation before. He is in that situation right now. He is not someone who will come out and talk about this and that. I know he is someone who works really hard off the field. On the field, he is on a very different level."
After MI’s win against RCB while addressing media Kishan said,"I know he must be enjoying it. I have spent a lot of time with him. He must be enjoying it. He is ready for the challenges, because you can't complaint to the fans. They will come up with their expectations, they will come up with their point of view. But at the same time, me knowing how Hardik Pandya thinks, he is someone who loves challenges.”
