On Sunday, Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in what promises to be an electrifying encounter.
With just two points separating the teams, both MI and DC have exhibited similar patterns of play. Mumbai has faced challenges in securing victories, suffering three consecutive defeats. On the other hand, Delhi commenced their campaign with a convincing win over the Chennai Super Kings but encountered a setback when the Kolkata Knight Riders defeated them comprehensively in Vizag. Additionally, injuries and niggles within the Delhi camp could pose concerns ahead of the clash at Wankhede.
Sourav Ganguly, former India captain and current director of cricket at Delhi Capitals, has extended his support to Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya. Ganguly urged fans to cease booing Pandya, emphasizing the need for unity and encouragement.
Hardik Pandya, known for his dynamic all-round abilities, was entrusted with the captaincy of Mumbai Indians for the ongoing season after his acquisition from the Gujarat Titans. The decision to replace India’s captain Rohit Sharma with Pandya stirred emotions among fans, leading to some expressing discontent. However, Ganguly’s support underscores the importance of backing the team’s leadership decisions.
