Hardik Pandya: No matter who we are, when faced with problems, we ultimately turn to God for help. We often wonder if the same holds true for celebrities. Do they too pray to God when faced with difficulties? After all, many celebrities don’t even seem to visit temples. However, when faced with problems that money can’t solve, even celebrities turn to God.
This is the situation that Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya finds himself in. Last year, even without Jasprit Bumrah, Mumbai reached the playoffs under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. This year, even with Bumrah’s return, they have lost three consecutive matches and are yet to open their account in the IPL. All other teams except Mumbai Indians have won at least one match.
Is Pandya Not A Good Captain?
So, is Pandya not a good captain? That’s not the case. This all-rounder led Gujarat Titans to the title in their first season. He also took the team to the finals last year. However, Mumbai fans were not happy with the sudden decision to remove Rohit and bring in Pandya from Gujarat Titans as captain. As a result, they boo Pandya whenever he appears during Mumbai matches. The trolling on social media is another story.
Rohit fans are angry with Pandya for replacing their idol. In addition, with three consecutive losses, Pandya has become a laughing stock on social media. He is currently in such a bad state that former cricketers have to come and plead with the fans to leave him alone.
Give Him Some Time Guys!
Ashwin and Ravi Shastri have already requested the fans to give Pandya some time. In such a time, Pandya would also want to somehow improve his situation. That’s why he visited the Somnath Temple, one of the Jyotirlingas, and offered prayers. He prayed to Lord Shiva. Videos related to this are currently going viral on the internet.
Will Lord Shiva’s grace change Pandya’s fate? We will have to wait until Sunday’s match between Mumbai and Delhi to find out..
