Hardik Pandya Broke BCCI Rule: The Vijay Hazare Trophy is making headlines across the country, with many players showcasing their talent with both bat and ball. Among them, the name of Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya stands out. Hardik Pandya has impressed everyone with his batting prowess.
Once again, Hardik Pandya grabbed attention with a brilliant innings of 75 runs. Playing for Baroda, he scored 75 runs off just 31 balls. His innings included 9 sixes and 2 fours, with a strike rate of 240.
Thanks to Pandya’s batting, Baroda posted a total of 391 runs against Chandigarh. In reply, Chandigarh was bowled out for just 242 runs. However, the BCCI is reportedly quite unhappy with Hardik Pandya after the match. He made a mistake that has angered the BCCI.
Hardik Pandya’s Mistake
Hardik Pandya is being widely discussed after the match. His innings of 75 runs for Baroda and bowling 10 overs might prove costly for him. The BCCI had not permitted Hardik Pandya to bowl a full 10 overs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Due to the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, he was not supposed to bowl his full quota of overs. However, Hardik Pandya ignored the BCCI’s instructions and bowled 10 overs against Chandigarh. In his full quota of overs, Pandya conceded 66 runs and took 3 crucial wickets.
What the BCCI had said
When the Indian cricket team was announced for the ODI series against New Zealand, the BCCI had clearly stated that Hardik Pandya was not yet fit enough to bowl a full 10 overs. Despite this, bowling 10 overs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy raises serious questions.
At a time when players selected for the T20 World Cup team are being advised to stay fit, Pandya’s actions are a cause for concern. Some people even believe that Hardik Pandya might face a reprimand from the BCCI. However, it’s possible that Hardik Pandya bowled those ten overs only after taking permission from the team management or the medical team.
