IPL 2024 is on in full swing, and Mumbai Indians is having a bad run so far. Hardik Pandya, the new captain of the squad has become the victim of incessant trolling on social media. There are many fans who are livid at him for replacing Rohit Sharma. They feel he does not have the qualities to lead the Mumbai squad. The loss of the matches, and poor form of Hardik Pandya has not helped matters. In fact, he even got booed when he stepped out on the field in Ahmedabad. Commentators were upset seeing the unruly crowd.

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya offered special prayers at the Somnath Temple. We could see that he walked in with a tray that had flowers for the God. The cricketer also did abhishek on the Shiv Linga. He performed his pooja with a priest. The state of Gujarat has two Jyotirlingas one in Somnath and other is the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga.

In the past, we have seen that Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma went to the Mahakaleshwar Temple of Ujjain when he was in poor form. The couple also did the special pooja. He made a great comeback in IPL 2023. Even KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty visited the same place to seek blessings. The player was battling injuries and poor form for a long time. This is how netizens reacted to the visit of Hardik Pandya…

Just Look at his face, he look very sad. Mahadev sab sahi kare. ?

Rohit Sharma is a legend ,but why so hatred for hardik?
He was made captain by Ambani’s not by himself.
He tried what he could, but the public is mad and immature who abused him constantly. He is not a villain or some kind of criminal, he is a good player and he has proved it

It is unfortunate to see how Hardik Pandya is facing hate from so many quarters. The player has proved himself on many occasions for India as well as his IPL franchises.
