Hardik Pandya, who emerged as a hero after making the Gujarat Titans champion at IPL 2022, became a villain on social media due to one of his decisions. During the batting of the Indian team, in the 20th, he refused to run Dinesh Karthik. I wanted to keep the strike with him. This decision of his was meant for cricket fans and that is why he was fiercely rebuked on social media.

Dinesh Karthik reached the crease after captain Rishabh Pant was sent off on the first ball of the 20. On the second ball of the over, he was unable to score runs but on the third ball he managed to get a run. Now the strike was with Hardik Pandya. On the fourth ball, Pandya hit a six and on the fifth ball he played a deep midwicket shot. He could have come here, but Pandya refused. Dinesh Karthik was surprised by this decision of Pandya. Pandya was only able to score two runs on the last ball of the over.

After this incident on the cricket ground, many reactions began to emerge on social media. Some were calling Pandya overconfident and others were saying if Hardik Pandya considers Dinesh Karthik to be a bottom hitter.

Dinesh Karthik was the striker of the season in IPL 2022. He scored runs at a strike rate of over 180. That is why he entered Team India after about 3 years. The fans wanted to see him bat, but he could get to the crease in the 20th. In this too, when Pandya didn’t give him a chance to play the last ball, Karthik’s fans were furious.

Batting first, the Indian team scored 211 runs in this game. In response, the South African team achieved the goal by losing just 3 wickets. David Miller (64) and Rasi van der Dussen (75) played brilliant tackles for Africa.
