hardik pandya over confidence cost india t20 series wi vs ind

one awkward decision after another

Hardik Pandya took such decisions in the series against the West Indies, which no one could understand. Cricket pundits banged their heads. He made the biggest blunder in the second T20. Yuzvendra Chahal took two wickets in the 16th over. There was turn in the pitch. Chahal had one over left and West Indies had lost 8 wickets. Everyone felt that Chahal would bowl the 18th over and maybe end the match as well. Hardik handed the ball to the fast bowlers and in the end India got defeated. In the last match, he gave one over each to leading bowlers Mukesh Kumar and Akshar Patel, while part-timers Tilak and Yashasvi bowled a total of 3 overs. At the same time, Chahal’s spell was completed even after giving continuous runs.

Mukesh – The letter was not used properly

Mukesh Kumar is a swing bowler. The third ODI also showed how he trapped the West Indies top order. But after the first match of the T20 series, he did not get the new ball. In the last three matches, he came to bowl at number 5 or 6. Akshar Patel even bowled 11 overs in the entire series. Despite being the main all-rounder of the team, the captain could not use him. In front of the left-handed batsmen, he did not even give the ball to Akshar. Akshar did not get an over in the second T20.

hit the right of the young player

Hardik Pandya did not take wrong decisions in the captaincy itself. He also killed the rights of a 20-year-old young player. The matter is of the third T20. Tilak was playing after scoring 49 runs. One run away from Fifty. India needed 2 runs off 14 balls to win. Hardik hit a six there. At that time Tilak Verma’s face was worth seeing. He made his international debut in this series. In support of Hardik Pandya, Harsha Bhogle wrote that a half-century is not a milestone. But the thing is also that the winning shot would have taken the confidence of the young player to the 7th sky. Hardik clearly tried to humiliate Tilak.

bowl the first over yourself

Hardik Pandya himself brought the first over three times in the 5-match series. He is a good bowler but not a swing bowler. Teams sometimes start the bowling with an all-rounder or spinner instead of the main fast bowler as a surprise. But Hardik had made it a rule. He had a chance to do a lot in batting as well. He had full chances in the first two matches and then in the 5th match. Could have played long innings but disappointed every time. In the 5th match, he faced 18 balls to score 14 runs. He was not able to rotate till the strike.

funny things after losing

After the defeat of Team India, Hardik Pandya’s words are also like his captaincy, no one understands anything. After every defeat comes his strange statement. After the third match, he had said – If Nicholas Pooran wants to hit me for sixes, then let him hit me. I enjoy such competition. In the 5th match, Puran hit back to back sixes against Hardik as soon as he came. After this Hardik removed himself from bowling.

After losing the series, Hardik said one more thing that he never had any specific plan. He takes decisions according to the situation. Any captain in cricket, he comes on the field with a plan. There is a thought behind his every decision. Gut feeling sometimes works. In most cases, you should have a plan A as well as a plan B. The lack of planning in his captaincy was clearly visible in this series. If this continues, Hardik, who is dreaming of becoming the permanent captain, will not be able to remain as vice-captain.
