‘Iss Joker ko lena hi nahi chaahiye tha’ – Fans react as reports claim reason behind Gujarat Titans letting go of Hardik Pandya

The trade of Hardik Pandya was already a big sensation in the lead-up to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. In addition, his appointment as the captain of Mumbai Indians (MI) was not taken well by the fans of one of the most successful franchises. Rohit Sharma fans, in particular, were angry with the decision of MI to name a new captain despite having a terrific captain like Rohit, who has won 5 trophies in the IPL.
To date, Hardik is not well received by the fans of Rohit Sharma. Now reports have come up with the reason behind Gujarat Titans letting go of Hardik. One of the popular reports claims that GT did not want to let go of Hardik initially, but the demand of the player was huge and almost out of reach of the 2022 champions. The report claimed that GT is a different franchise than MI.
The report said that GT and MI have different cultures and goals. It added that CVC Capital paid INR 5625 crores to be a part of the IPL 2022. On the other hand, MI is a business family. Hence, the decision-making in both franchises are different. MI has straightforward decision-making, while CVC Capitals have a diverse portfolio and are controlled by different entities.
Hardik Pandya’s trade beneficial for Gujarat Titans?
The report further claimed that the trade of Hardik was not as plain as it was touted on paper. It said that on paper, it was a trade of just INR 15 crores. But in reality, there was a lot of money being paid by MI to buy Hardik. Reports claim an unbelievable price of INR 100 crores being paid by Mumbai Indians to Gujarat Titans, which seems highly unbelievable.
In turn, reports claim that Hardik himself asked for a huge sum to be a part of MI as well. Although the report did not reveal the price, it added that there was a huge sum paid by MI to get Hardik. The report has frightened the fans who are questioning the trading process in the league. If what they claim is to be believed, GT might have not minded the trade a bit.
Here’s how the fans reacted to the news –
If this is true then it’s simply hilarious. Coz you are one of the biggest franchise in the game and why so much desperation. This is like a team which has never won a title and is desperate to challenge for one.

Hardik Pandya also deserve one year ban from ipl . It’s become good for India as he is physically and mentally fit for t20 world cup 2024

I am surprised if someone beat Ambani at business. I think that will be just an illusion. They got 100 crore for now maybe but Hardik is that Golden Hen which will yield more than that.

Maybe there’s more to this deal as CVC paid 5625 crores to be a part of the IPL so 100 crore isn’t a big amount for them.

Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry star in RCB women’s comeback win against UP Warriorz in WPL 2024
![Smriti Mandhana and Alyssa Healy (Source - X)](https://wolf777news.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Untitled-design-1-1.png)
RCB women overcame UP Warriorz by 23 runs to clinch their third win of the season. The home side outperformed Warriorz in all the facets of the game and emerged victorious. A collective team effort, particularly with the bat, helped RCB women to beat Warriorz for the second time in the season. They now have three wins in their five matches in the WPL 2024.
Alyssa Healy won the toss and opted to field first. Given how things have panned out in the league so far, it needed a great batting performance from RCB to challenge the chasing side. The home side did exactly that. They were full of intent which was lacking in the last few games. Right from the start, S Meghana and Smriti Mandhana smashed the bowlers.
It was the night of the RCB skipper. The Southpaw scored 80(50) in her stay. S Meghana perished after a valuable 28(21). Ellyse Perry batted well and registered her first fifty of the WPL 2024. She was aided well towards the end by Richa Ghosh whose 21(10) propelled RCB to a score of 198 on the board. It was the highest team total in the WPL 2024.
Alyssa Healy’s efforts go in vain
Chasing the daunting total, UP Warriorz were off to a flier. The opening duo of Healy and Kiran Navgire gave a fiery start to the visiting side. When the two were batting in the PP overs, it seemed like the Warriorz could pull off an insane chase. However, Sophie Devine brought RCB back into the game with crucial wickets. At Bengaluru, the home crowd was literally behind the RCB women.
It helped the home side to stay calm and do their job with ease. Sophie Molineux and Asha Sobhana were the pick of the bowlers, who claimed 2/29 each in their spell of four overs. While Healy scored a fifty and Deepti tried her best in the death overs, ten daunting targets could not be chased down. Despite the early hiccups, RCB managed to restrict UP Warriorz to a score of 175 and won by 23 runs.

WATCH: Ellyse Perry in disbelief as her six breaks car’s window
![](https://wolf777news.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Untitled-design-3.png)
Ellyse Perry smashed a six in the match against UP Warriorz in the WPL 2024. It was an interesting six as the ball travelled towards the boundary ropes and fell exactly on the window of the car. As a result, the glass of the window was broken. The car is set to be provided as a reward for the player of the tournament.
It was the over of Deepti Sharma towards the last few moments of RCB’s innings. Before Perry struck, the home side was in a great position in the match, thanks to a great start provided by Smriti Mandhana. The star batter scored 80 (50) and shined in front of the home crowd. Her form helped RCB to have a good momentum towards the death overs.

Perry, who was struggling till that point, opened up and smashed the bowlers for fun. She went hard against the spinners like Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Deepti Sharma who were asked to bowl at the death. The right-handed batter smashed back-to-back sixes in the over of Sharma. One of those travelled towards the mid-wicket region where the car was stationed. The video of her shot has gone viral on X.
RCB teammates laugh, Ellyse Perry in disbelief
As the ball fell on the car and damaged the window, the fans erupted. There was no end to the joy of the fans who started chanting “Perry.. Perry..” and lit the atmosphere of the stadium. However, Perry was in disbelief. As she saw the impact of the ball damaging the car’s window, the Australian batter could not believe her eyes and thought about what she had just done.
On the other hand, the RCB teammates of Perry were in awe of the shot. They looked at the replays and appreciated the shot of Perry. At the same time, players like Sophie Molineux and Sophie Devine had a laugh about the car’s window getting damaged. Ellyse scored a fifty and helped her team score 198 runs with her batting in front of the home crowd.

Praveen Kumar addresses Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer’s negligence of taking part in Ranji Trophy
![Praveen Kumar](https://wolf777news.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Untitled-design-19-1.png)
Praveen Kumar has given his opinion on the preferences of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer in recent times. The duo did not take part in the Ranji Trophy matches for their respective teams despite being fit. It did not go well with the Indian Cricket Board which landed the duo without a ventral contract which was announced a few days back.
Praveen Kumar has reacted to the issue recently. The former India pacer claimed that he has been of an opinion on the issue for a long time. Praveen felt that one should definitely earn money but not at the cost of neglecting to play for domestic and national teams. The right-arm pacer felt that players today are having a certain mentality which is not good.
The former pacer claimed that the players have a mindset that they can rest for a month before taking part in the IPL, thereby bypassing playing for their national team or the domestic teams. Praveen felt that the players could not resist letting go of money which they could earn by taking part in the IPL and other T20 leagues (For foreign players).
‘Ye mentally hota hai, ki mai itne paise kaise chodun’ – Praveen Kumar
“This thing is now firmly in the mind of players. Mai ek mahine pehle rest kar lunga, fir IPL khel lunga. Ye mentally hota hai, ki mai itne paise kaise chodun,” said Praveen in the interview. He claimed that youngsters these days are spoilt and are behind money. The former RCB pacer felt that it is not fair on the part of the young players to neglect the country over the IPL.
Kumar felt that a player needs to maintain a balance between playing for the IPL team and for the country. He felt that money is an important factor, but not at the cost of playing for the national team. “But this is not fair at all. A player needs to balance things. Money is important, but this (giving franchise cricket the priority) is wrong,” said the former Indian bowler in the interview.
