Rohit Sharma’s perfect reaction after fans boo Hardik Pandya wins hearts
During the game between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium, MI fans booed Hardik Pandya. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma urged the fans to calm down who booed the MI captain. The video clip of the same has gone viral on social media channels.
Rajasthan Royals won the game by six wickets. After the game, MI captain Hardik Pandya said, “Yes, a tough night, we didn’t start the way we wanted to start. I wanted to counter, we were in a decent position to get us around 150-160, but my wicket allowed them to get back more into the game, I needed to do a lot more. It’s okay, we didn’t expect such a surface, but you can’t always have it as a batter, it’s nice at times for the bowlers to have a say. It’s all about doing the right things, results happen at times, at some other times it doesn’t. As a group, we believe we can do a lot better, but we need to be a bit more disciplined and show a lot more courage”
