With two straight losses, Hardik Pandya is under the questionnaire of many fans and cricket experts. In both matches, he failed as a captain with many questionable decisions he took on the field. He did not open the bowling with the World’s best, Jasprit Bumrah, in both matches.
If the whole team is playing with the strike of 200, Captain can’t bat with the batting strike rate of 120.
