Hardik Pandya was caught on stump-mic while abusing the benched Indian cricketers Arshdeep Singh and Ishan Kishan in the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka. The viral video is getting mixed reviews from people. While some people are justifying Pandya’s verbal anger, others are not very happy with Pandya’s approach.
The viral incident occurred after the 11th over. It seems that Hardik Pandya asked for water in the 10th over of Sri Lankan inning but the benched Indian players Arshdeep Singh and Ishan Kishan failed to hear him and thus could not get the water to him. This made Pandya angry and he shouted after the 11th over, “Paani maanga tha last over, gaa** marwa rhe ho udhar.”
Unfortunately, for Hardik Pandya, the verbal abuse was caught on the stump mic and gave the netizens a reason to troll him on social media platforms. Some people on the internet are claiming that Pandya is just like his brother Krunal Pandya who was caught in trouble for abusing his teammate Deepak Hooda in domestic cricket.

Hardik Pandya had already experienced trouble for his sharp tongue in his career when he was banned by the BCCI for a few matches after he spoke like a true misogynist on Koffee With Karan. What do you make of Hardik Pandya’s verbal abuse in the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka? Do you think it is justified, or do you think that Pandya has overstepped his limits?
