IPL 2024: Fan Wars Are Taking An Ugly Turn, Says Ashwin On Fans Booing Hardik Pandya

Indian Premier League: Veteran India and Rajasthan Royals off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has come out in support of Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya after the latter has been at the receiving end of vicious trolling and booing, saying the fan wars are taking an ugly turn in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

In a livestream on his YouTube channel, a user asked Ashwin, “whether it is time for Mumbai Indians to issue a statement (on making Hardik the captain), saying it was a poor transfer from the management?” In response, Ashwin said, “Neither has any role to play. Neither the franchise nor the player has a role to play in this at all. I think the responsibility and the onus lies on the fans.”

Following his switch from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians in what has been seen as a coup and replacing Rohit Sharma as captain ahead of IPL 2024, Hardik was mercilessly subjected to boos and jeers by fans, who also used a discriminatory term for him at times, during the five-time champions’ first two games in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, where they ended up on losing side.
