Hardik Pandya

Fans have expressed outrage over Hardik Pandya’s poster in the Apex board’s post for India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 game. The Apex Cricket Council recently announced the schedule and division of groups for the T20 WC 2024, which is set to take place in the West Indies and the USA. For the first time in the history of the sport, USA will be hosting a major cricket event.

India and Pakistan are the two biggest rivals in cricket. Over the years, their rivalry has been well accounted for. The fact that the two teams do not play against each other frequently makes their clashes in big tournaments a lot more thrilling. In the schedule announced recently for the big tournament, it was revealed that the two teams are in the same group which has led to the excitement of the fans.

The two teams would be facing each other in New York in front of a packed house. The big match between the two sides is set to take place on the 9th of June. The last time these 2 sides met each other in a game, India totally dominated Pakistan in the ODI WC 2023. In T20Is, the two sides were involved in one of the greatest T20 games of all time at Melbourne in 2022.

Outrage against Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya has not had a great time recently. His injuries, trading, and the naming of the new captain of Mumbai Indians have not gone well with the fans. The star cricketer has been getting hate for different reasons. A new reason has been added to the list, as the fans are not happy with the inclusion of Hardik’s image in the official poster of the Apex Board for the match.

In the poster for the match between India and Pakistan, the image of Hardik was present opposite to that of Shaheen Afridi. The fans were not happy with the fact and criticized the broadcasters for the same. At the same time, the fans asked for the image of Rohit Sharma in the poster instead of that of Hardik Pandya.
