T20 World Cup 2024: "Bina performance ke vice-captain"- Twitter expresses frustration as Hardik Pandya gets leadership role

Fans on Twitter weren't happy after all-rounder Hardik Pandya was appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. The tournament is all set to place in the Caribbean and the United States of America from the 1st to the 30th of June.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday (30th April) named the strong 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. The squad saw some bold calls being taken as Rinku Singh and KL Rahul were dropped and Yuzvendra Chahal was picked in the team.

One of the things that caught the attention of many was that Hardik Pandya was given the role of vice-captain for the T20 World Cup 2024. The all-rounder has been going through a torrid run of form in the ongoing IPL and has failed to deliver goods as a leader of the Mumbai Indians.

There were reports that Hardik Pandya might be sacked as the vice-captain of the team and they might give a nod ahead to Rishabh Pant for the role. However, this wasn't the case as the all-rounder has been trusted with the role, which he held in the ICC World Cup 2023.

The T20 World Cup 2024 will also mark the return of Hardik Pandya to the Indian team after a long injury. He got injured during the World Cup and since then missed action for the team. However, ahead of that, he captained the team in T20Is in the absence of Rohit Sharma.

The Mumbai Indians skipper has failed to set the stage on fire in the ongoing IPL 2024. The all-rounder has been struggling with his form with both bat and ball and has come under a lot of scanner as well. Under his leadership, Mumbai Indians have also lost a lot of games as well.
