New Delhi: A video in which Hardik Pandya can be heard abusing the Indian captain Rohit Sharma went viral on social media. The players were not visible in the video, but from the audio, it seemed like Hardik Pandya was not happy with the field placements.
The incident might have happened after the end of the fourth over when Pandya can be heard screaming at one of the fielders, saying that he should not be paying heed to Rohit but to him as he is bowling. This is not the first time Hardik has abused on the field. There was one such incident in IPL 2022 where he was seen abusing Mohammed Shami which angered the cricket fans on Twitter.
As the video went viral on Twitter, Rohit’s fans were unhappy with the gesture made by Pandya. On the other hand, there were people making fun of Rohit Sharma and Pandya.
Note: Newsroom Post cannot confirm the authenticity of the viral video.
Cricket statistician Abhishek Mukherjee took on Twitter to post about the incident.
Opened Twitter to see #HardikAbusedRohit trending. Went through the tweets, could not find when or how Hardik abused Rohit.
Social media can be bizarre.

Hardik Pandya is that alpha guy who speaks facts without caring for anyone. Said Kohli is better than Sachin and now he doesn’t Bootlick Rohit just because he is the Captain. He just showed levels to Rohit yesterday.#HardikAbusedRohit

After the middle order saw a collapse, it was Ravindra Jadeja who finished the inning for India and helped them reach a total of 170.

This is the 14th consecutive victory in T20Is for India which is a record for captain Rohit Sharma.
