Hardik Pandya: Team India, which is on a Sri Lanka tour, will play the first T20 on July 27. For the upcoming match, the team is practicing hard under the leadership of coach Gautam Gambhir. Yesterday, pictures related to the practice session of the Men in Blue went viral on social media.

If reports are to be believed, during the practice session, all-rounder Hardik Pandya had a fight with the coach. The matter escalated so much that both of them started taunting each other. This incident has created a stir among the team management as well as Indian fans. Let us know in detail what this whole incident is.

Hardik Pandya clashed with the coach

The last few times have not been good for Hardik Pandya. Recently he got divorced from his wife Natasha Stankovic. Apart from this, the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format was also taken away from this brilliant player. While this player was the vice-captain of the team during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, the board and team management did a bit of injustice to him.

Perhaps this is the reason why Hardik clashed with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar during the first practice session of Team India on the Sri Lanka tour. Actually, Nair was making Hardik practice batting in the nets.

During this, the Indian team player played a shot towards point on a ball from Nair. As soon as he hit the shot, he said that it would be a four. Whereas Nair said that it would not be a four. There was a long debate between the two on this matter.

Captaincy taken away from T20 format

Hardik Pandya is known for his aggressive attitude on the field. The 30-year-old all-rounder emerged as a match winner for Team India during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. After Rohit Sharma stepped down from captaincy, Hardik was being described as the next captain of T20.

However, BCCI surprised everyone by giving the captaincy to Suryakumar Yadav permanently. Some fans criticized this a lot on social media. It is worth noting that for some time now, Hardik Pandya has been leading the Indian team in the limited overs format. Citing poor fitness, the selectors took away this opportunity from Hardik.
