In the face of constant criticism, Ravichandran Ashwin expresses support for Hardik Pandya

As the Mumbai Indians’ captain, Hardik Pandya is going through one of his most difficult IPL (Indian Premier League) seasons to date. The 30-year-old is receiving a lot of criticism from onlookers on the ground, and some online users are even calling him derogatory names.

Hardik has received some support from his Team India colleague Ravichandran Ashwin, despite all of the insults and vitriol. Indian Premier League player Ashwin, who represents the Rajasthan Royals (RR), has pleaded with supporters to refrain from starting conflicts and avoid going down the nasty road.

Do you know of any other countries where this has occurred? Ever see a brawl between Joe Root and Zak Crawley fans? Or have you seen a brawl between supporters of Jos Buttler and Joe Root? It’s absurd. Have you seen Australian brawls between Steve Smith and Pat Cummins fans? As I’ve mentioned several times,. It’s cricket here. This is a culture of film. I am aware of concepts like branding, positioning, and marketing. It’s not anything I dispute. I don’t think any of this is real, but it’s okay to enjoy,” Ashwin said on his YouTube account.

“Fan fights ought never to take such a gruesome turn. It is important to keep in mind that these athletes represent our nation. What, therefore, makes a cricket player worthy of being jeered? Ashwin continued.

In addition, Ashwin expressed his opinion that the Mumbai Indians shouldn’t publicly clarify their stance in an effort to stop the animosity that Hardik is receiving.

“I don’t comprehend. Why should a club publicly clarify itself if fans boycott and detest a player? We behave as if this has never occurred before. Tendulkar (Sachin) was the coach of Sourav Ganguly, and vice versa. Both of them have competed while being captained by Rahul Dravid.

All three of these players have experience playing under Dhoni and under Anil Kumble. These players were cricket jambhavans (giants) under Dhoni’s leadership. Ashwin said, “Dhoni also played for Virat.

“We must straighten up our acts. Are you aware of the issue? Everyone enjoys sitting in their homes, gazing outdoors, while someone else takes care of the garbage collection. We don’t want to take on the task on our own. First, we need to fix ourselves. This is sports in real time.

Real-time emotions are present in real-time sports. This is all about how we go beyond it, counter it, and achieve equilibrium to play cricket. A true sport is never comparable to a movie. Heroes are wonderful, as is hero worship. I wholeheartedly support it. Take pleasure in your favourite aspects of them, but don’t let that come at the expense of demeaning another player. “This is something that I would really like to see go from our nation’s landscape,” Ashwin said.
