    Apart from Rinku, there are other players as well who could not make it to the 15 member squad. Host Rahul Makin & Shikhar Varshney talk about the World Cup Squad and the current situation of the IPL points table.

    Agar aap Hardik Pandya ki jagah hote toh...?

    Agar aap Hardik Pandya ki jagah hote toh...?

    In this week’s IPL 2024 Roundup, hosts RJ Rahul Makin and Shikhar Varshney dissect the thrilling matches, unexpected upsets, and heated moments that unfolded on the cricketing stage. From jaw-dropping sixes to nail-biting finishes, they’ve got it all covered!

    But wait, there’s more! The duo dives deep into the Hardik Pandya saga. Why are fans divided? Why are some booing the talented all-rounder? Let’s explore:

    The Leadership Shift: Hardik Pandya, once the captain of Gujarat Titans, now leads the Mumbai Indians. But this transition hasn’t been smooth. Fans in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad have already expressed their discontent, and now, the Wankhede Stadium crowd awaits him with bated breath.

    Ambition vs. Loyalty: Hardik’s ambition to climb the cricketing ladder clashed with fans’ expectations. Some demand unwavering loyalty, while others hurl casteist slurs due to his appearance. It’s a complex web of emotions.
    The IPL Effect: The IPL isn’t just cricket; it’s an emotional rollercoaster. Fans form intense connections with their teams, and any perceived betrayal stings. Gujarat feels jilted, and Mumbai fans mourn the “coup” against beloved captain Rohit Sharma.
    Performative Outrage: Some outrage is performative, seeking attention or laughs. But for cricketers accustomed to adoration, this hostility is uncharted territory. Cricket remains primarily international, and Hardik’s skin isn’t as thick as his bowling arm.
    The T20 World Cup Thriller: Remember when Hardik shrugged off the result after the Pakistan match? That resilience might serve him well now.

    Join us as we dissect the drama, analyze the stats, and unravel the enigma that is Hardik Pandya. Hit that subscribe button, like, and share – because cricket isn’t just a game; it’s a passion that fuels debates and emotions! 🏆🔥
