Hardik Pandya’s journey has not been good since returning to Mumbai Indians and becoming the captain. He has had to continuously pass through a thorny path. From social media to stadiums and streets, Mumbai Indians and Rohit Sharma have had to face the anger and hatred of their fans continuously. On top of that, the 5-time champion team has failed to perform as per expectations and Hardik himself has not been able to show his strength. In such a situation, even the experts are down on him. Amidst all this, Hardik himself seems broken and in such a situation only brother will help brother. Hardik’s elder brother Krunal Pandya was also seen doing something similar.
The bad phase of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 continued in the 10th match also. The team captained by Hardik had to face defeat by 4 wickets against Lucknow Super Giants. This was Mumbai’s 7th defeat in 10 matches and the team is in 9th place. Hardik could not do anything with the bat in this match and was out on the first ball itself. However, this match proved to be better for him in bowling and he took 2 wickets for 26 runs in 4 overs. Still, this was not enough to make the team win.
‘Pandya Brothers’ meeting
On the other hand, Hardik’s elder brother and former Mumbai Indians all-rounder Krunal Pandya got another win with Lucknow. Krunal did not get a chance to do much in this match and yet the team won the match. Now after the match, Hardik’s disappointment was clearly visible and in such a situation, the elder brother came to explain and support him. Lucknow Super Giants posted a cute video of the meeting of the two brothers on their social media, in which Krunal hugged Hardik and patted his back several times and consoled him about the current situation.

hug, press feet
Then when both of them sat on the field, Hardik was seen pressing his elder brother’s feet for a few seconds. Both of them talked happily for some time and then at the end when they were getting the photo clicked, once again the disappointment and frustration of his recent situation was clearly visible on Hardik’s face. Whereas the smile of victory was shining on Krunal Pandya’s face. The elder brother will hope that Hardik also soon overcomes these difficulties and makes a strong comeback.
