With straight three defeats in three games, new Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya hasn`t hoped for this poor start in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Hardik has been subjected to not only plenty of online trolling and abuse but also faced booing at stadiums during matches. Meanwhile, Former India skipper and Delhi Capitals` Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly on April 06 came out in support of Hardik Pandya. He said that the fans behavior has not been pleasing and urged them not to boo the new MI skipper. Ganguly pointed out that it is not Hardik`s fault if he has replaced the much-loved Rohit Sharma. Hardik returned to Mumbai Indians (MI) as a captain from Gujarat Titans (GT), replacing the five-time IPL winner Rohit Sharma.
