'Unreal Downfall': Netizens bash Hardik Pandya after another poor show in MI vs PBKS clash

Hardik Pandya is having a horrid time with the bat for Mumbai Indians and his bad run of form continued in the match 33 of IPL 2024 against the Punjab Kings. 

Suryakumar Yadav starred with the bat for Mumbai Indians as he scored 78, while Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma and Tim David all played handful knocks as MI set a mammoth total for Punjab Kings to chase. 

But a batter that failed once again was MI skipper Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya came into bat at number five after Suryakumar Yadav's departure. Pandya looked to right the wrong with his bat and bounce back to silence his critics. 

But as it turned out Hardik Pandya failed once again as he went for big hit only to be caught at the ropes. Pandya scored only 10 runs and left his team in a precarious positon.
