Ever since Hardik Pandya was named as Mumbai Indians captain, he has been getting massively trolled for his below-average captaincy. Hardik Pandya was booed by the crowd during both matches. During SRH vs MI as well as MI vs GT the captain faced the ire of fans on the field as well as on social media.
Fans are unhappy that India's captain Rohit Sharma, who has been captain for MI for over years was replaced.
