The Retirement of Tilak Verma: A Brave Decision or a Blunder?:-
Getting Tilak Verma retired and bringing in Sutner was this bravery or stupidity? Well, the way Tilak Verma was retired on the last ball of the 19th over and Sutner came in his place, everyone has this question in their mind that was this a brave decision or stupidity because the legendary players, be it Harbhajan Singh or others how bad Tilak Verma’s day is on any given day, he can be better than Mitchell Santner, to drop him is beyond understanding why this was done, what could be the reason, was it done because he was playing badly or was it done so that the authority could be shown that look who is the boss, but whatever has happened is currently the center of discussion on social media regarding Tilak Verma, one section is believing that Tilak Verma was playing very badly in the last two-three matches and the way he was playing, it is right to retire him, the other section .
The Criticism of Hardik Pandya’s Leadership:-
A person can be better than a bowler and Tilak Verma can hit a better six than Sutner some day and anyway, the question is being raised whether Sutner could have done anything in the situation in which he was brought in because Hardik Pandya did not let Sutner bat and if he was not giving the strike to Sutner, then he could have played himself or there is some other story behind it, meaning if the match was not fixed, with all due respect because matches are fixed in IPL, all these allegations have been made in IPL, so we cannot give a complete clean chit to this matter, but if Tilak Verma was not leaving the ball intentionally or was not taking a single intentionally when he had to hit a six or a four, then is it the right decision to exclude him or a stupid decision.
Tilak Verma’s Recent Form and Performance:-
A better six than Tilak Verma and a set batsman can hit a six anytime even if he is struggling, we have seen this many times It is such an exclamation that a player keeps playing slow but suddenly in the last 15, 20, 25 balls he makes a huge difference. Well, whatever happened, many people believe that Tilak Verma’s confidence will fall a lot because of this. Many believe that Tilak Verma needed a reality check, which Hardik Pandya gave him in the middle of the field because when he came to bat against Gujarat Titans, he scored 39 runs in 36 balls, which was not a T20 innings at all.
Same thing happened against LSG, 25 runs in 23 balls, this was not a T20 innings. Whereas Tilak Verma’s fans say that Tilak Verma is a great player. If you look at his last five international T20 matches, he has 338 runs, which means his average and strike rate were 170 plus. So in such a situation, sidelining Tilak Verma like this is a stupid decision.
The Impact on Tilak Verma’s Confidence:-
You make him disappear in one match. This is what his fans are saying. Secondly, that Tilak Verma’s fans are supporting him but those from the other side are also criticizing him saying that when Tilak Verma came against CSK, the score was 36 for 3, he was batting at number three and after that he did not score any runs, then when he came to bat here against Gujarat, he flopped even then, he came at number five and flopped even then, so in such a situation a reality check was necessary, however a large number of people on social media are saying that retiring Tilak Verma is because of Santner because if Karen Pollard was there, if David David was there, then maybe it would have been understandable, but if there was no big player and there was a spinner or because Santner is not even an all- rounder, then this is a stupid decision, due to this they lost, they are also holding Hardik responsible for the defeat, however, did you win, if you win on the probo app, then congratulations to you, if you don’t win, then it’s okay, tell us about the next match, it is Delhi’s match with CSK and Punjab ‘s match with Rajasthan,CSK will beat Delhi or not.
Mitchell Santner’s Role and Hardik Pandya’s Strategy:-
One discussion is going on that Hardik Pandya’s decision was to show authority because Surya Kumar Yadav’s face also turned pale. Many believed that there was a controversy between Tilak and Hardik. Last year also, if you remember, there was a debate in which Tilak Verma’s name came up and even then Hardik Pandya was the captain because when Tilak Verma plays under the captaincy of Surya Kumar Yadav, he looks like a different player, a big player but when he plays under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, he does not look like that much of an impactful player.
Internal Tensions and Potential Lobbies in Mumbai Indians:-
Now Hardik’s fans are saying that Tilak Verma deliberately played slow to defeat Hardik Pandya because there are two lobbies in Mumbai Indians, one lobby is Rohit Sharma’s Surya Kumar Yadav. In the Yadav’s group, Tilak Verma’s name comes up, sometimes Bumrah is also added to it and there is a lobby in which Hardik was there, last year Ishan Kishan was there but all of them are not there now, Hardik is left alone, in such a situation Hardik Pandya dropped him while playing at a bad moment and then in the post match press conference he also said that after the way he was playing, that decision itself was enough as to why this was done but Tilak’s fans are saying that it was a very bad behaviour, this behaviour was going to lower the confidence of the player, it was going to insult him, the player who had won you many matches last year, that’s why you retained him but this time you retired him and separated him.
Match Result and Consequences of the Decision:-
Tilak Verma was playing first by scoring 20 runs in 18 balls till the power play, then there were seven balls left when Hardik took this decision, it was so that he could play a little faster, Sutner has attacked the pace in the last few years, Hardik might have thought but whatever it was, this decision or So was it brave or was it a blunder because before this there have not been many such decisions, it has happened only three-four times that players have been retired and the situation in which they retired is a big surprise because the number seven batsman is to bat and now the number seven player is replacing Tilak Verma, MI management or Hardik Pandya because was pale and that was visible, some people are also blaming Hardik that okay Tilak Verma played slow, Hardik Pandya could also have played fast because in the 19th over of Shardul Thakur, there was a single on the first, a single on the second, a single on the third, a single on the fourth, a single on the fifth, a retirement on the sixth, so Hardik also took three singles, then why did Hardik put all this blame on him.
Was It a Brave Decision or a Blunder?:-
Many are saying that Hardik Pandya got sympathy for Tilak Verma, otherwise if they had lost, all the blame would have come directly on Tilak Verma, but now people have stood in support of Tilak Verma as well Because Hardik Pandya did it, now whether it was match fixing, know if it was to humiliate or defeat Hardik Pandya or it was just a bad day, whatever it was, it was not good and that is why we are asking you the question whether what happened was brave or a blunder.
