Dale Steyn SLAMS Hardik Pandya For THIS Reason After RR Humiliate MI in IPL 2024 Match

Steyn urged Pandya and other cricketers to be more real after the game.

Jaipur: Hardik Pandya has been facing non-stop backlash ever since he was appointed as the captain of Mumbai Indians. Also, what did not help- are the results. MI have not looked half the side they are on paper and that has been disappointing fans, who have been extremely hostile towards Hardik. Following MI’s loss against the Rajasthan Royals, former South Africa legend Dale Steyn slammed Hardik.

Taking to Twitter, Steyn urged Pandya and other cricketers to be more real after the game.

“I really look forward to the day players might say what’s honestly on their mind. Instead we some how dumbed ourselves and our minds into saying the usual safe thing, lose the next game, smile and then repeat that nonsense again,” Steyn said after the RR vs MI match on Twitter.

PS. Qdk, I love you

“We put ourselves in trouble early on. The way Tilak and Nehal batted – that was fantastic. I don’t think that when we lost a couple of wickets early we thought we would even reach 180. We didn’t finish well and that’s why we were 10-15 runs short. We had to keep it within the stumps (while bowling). Early on in the powerplay, we gave a lot of width and I don’t think it was our best day in the field as well. Overall, we did not put the right foot on the park and eventually they outplayed us,” Hardik said at the post-match presentation.
