Shane Watson, a former Australian cricketer, expressed on JioCinema that Hardik needed to step up his game in MI’s last season match because of his underwhelming results this season at the bat (200 runs at an average of 18.18) and with the ball (11 wickets in 11 innings at 10.58 rpo). Watson emphasised the need for Hardik to get back on track as the T20 World Cup 2024 draws closer, especially at the bat.
After re-signing Hardik Pandya from the Gujarat Titans, a team he helped win the inaugural season and finish second the following year, the Mumbai Indians, who have five IPL titles under their belt, would have anticipated a more prosperous season. Sadly, neither MI nor Hardik were able to get off to a good start, as they only managed to win four of the thirteen games they played before their final league-stage match against the Lucknow Super Giants.
“I feel that Hardik Pandya has to have really stepped up and shown his supremacy in the most recent game. Watson said on JioCinema, “The T20 World Cup is coming up, and he really needs to hit his straps, especially with the bat.”

Watson, who was especially disappointed in the star-studded MI’s lacklustre season, urged the team to perform spectacularly for their home fans one last time this season. He emphasised that despite a lacklustre campaign, there remain significant issues at hand, and a sizable Wankhede audience is anticipated to support them.
