The champions are back home. The entire country welcomed the entire team with their arms open. While welcoming the champs at the Delhi airport, fans went crazy. The same craze was found in the Mumbai crowd who came to congratulate India in the victory parade. After being criticized badly by the Mumbai crowd in the IPL 2024. But now, the entire city is saying sorry to the all-rounder.
Hardik’s Hard Time in IPL:
After the 2021 IPL, Mumbai Indians released Hardik Pandya. In IPL 2022, Hardik Pandya led Gujarat Titans to an IPL trophy, a significant achievement in his two-year captaincy. However, his move to Mumbai Indians (MI) for the recent IPL season marked a stark change in fortune. Throughout his tenure with MI, Pandya encountered severe criticism and consistent booing from fans. His individual performance fell short of expectations, particularly notable when MI failed to advance beyond the group stage, amplifying the scrutiny he faced.
During IPL 2024, Pandya endured relentless booing from sections of the Wankhede Stadium crowd. Many Mumbai Indians supporters were vocal in their disapproval of him as captain, replacing the beloved Rohit Sharma. Despite the adversity, Hardik maintained a composed demeanor throughout the season, gracefully handling the criticisms hurled at him, both in Mumbai and elsewhere.
Fans are Apolozing:
Fans gathered at Mumbai airport to welcome the team. The supporters stood out by publicly apologizing to Hardik Pandya for their past behavior during the Indian Premier League 2024 season. Expressing regret, the fan used the opportunity at the airport to offer a heartfelt apology directly to Pandya.
Among the big crowd, a girl came and apologized to Hardik Pandya. The fan said, “First and foremost, I want to say sorry to Hardik Pandya. I don’t know why I trolled him in the first place. I am very sorry. Thank you so much. The last over was amazing. And I want to say sorry. Why did I even say anything wrong about you? I don’t know.”
Hardik Pandya showcased his best in the final, securing figures of 3/20 against South Africa. Overcome with emotion after the win, Pandya was seen in tears as he collapsed on the ground. Despite recent criticism from Mumbai Indians fans, his impressive tally of 11 wickets and 144 runs throughout the tournament established him as a hero for India and a standout on the global stage.
