In a recent video, Hardik Pandya can be seen abusing captain Rohit Sharma and the incident is going viral on social media. Although, the video doesn’t show Pandya abusing Rohit, but from the audio it is being showed that Pandya wasn’t happy with the field placement.
It occurred after the fourth over in the second T20I between India and England at Birmingham, Hardik was screaming at a fielder. In the past as well, Pandya had been part of several instances where he was abusing his own players. In IPL 2022, he also had abused Mohammed Shami which angered the fans on Twitter.
People are now saying that Indian players do not respect their captain, such was not the case in the time of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
Just because you are a better captain than rohit and you don't eat 1000 vadapavs in a day…You can't abuse his innocent mom on national television 💔#HardikAbusedRohitpic.twitter.com/HWnRVhtcG3

To be noted, a match between India and Afghanistan was held and Rohit Sharma selflessly rested himself from the Playing XI as he wanted MS Dhoni to play his 200th ODI match as captain. The Hitman has earned five IPL titles with the Mumbai Indians and also hasn’t lost a series since he became India’s full time captain.
