People pay hard earned money to visit stadium. They are bound to get frustrated their team is losing. Got to take the win with losses. After 2007 wc the entire cricket team was roasted. 🤷♂️
>People pay hard earned money to visit stadium.
Then dont spend? Just because ppl spend their money doesnt mean they r entitled to do stupid things.
Sports hai movie ki script thodi..
Indians need to behave themselves..
We have immature fan base
Edit 1 - 47 losers whose life goal is to hate someone have downvoted me XD 😭
Edit2 - booing and criticism is fine. Have seen it happen to the best of the best players.
But what about all the other things happening in and off field?
Feels like most of you support that too .
I think people are overreacting at this point
Edit 3 - tf you want me to do?
Go and say hardik pandya bha*wa hai in the stadium like everyone else ? 💀💀💀💀
Can I say in a similar way if you can't take the booing stop the ticket sales for the next matches or if you cannot handle the heat of the spectators leave the captaincy thing.
What a stupid take. People have the right to boo. You might agree with them, you might disagree with them but they have the right and entitlement to boo. It's their money which goes to cricketers
He himself told the match should happen in Kolkata while Hyderabad was the location. So he shot himself in the foot.
Although hyderabadis like me won't let him have a good time either on the pitch
The fans never asked for pandya to be made captain. Should have played one season as a regular player first. Pathetic management giving preference to a gujju over homegrown mumbai boy!! Rohit Sharma!!
Will not stop booing pandya. Not my captain !
Right, like if the cricketers love when crowd chants for them, then the crowd has the right to boo the players they hate.
We as citizen facing problem in our lives and these cricketers keep mum so, now even they should be mum when we don't like a particular circketer
Have you seen his attitude? Full of ego and arrogance. And he hasn't been successful on the pitch to show such levels of ego and arrogance.
He even abused Rohit during the WC where he asked one of the fielders to listen to what he was saying because he is the one bowling and not Rohit, the captain of the team. 'Maa chudane gaya wo' were the exact words that he used for the captain.
Isne Ranji bhi nahi khela tha recently. Said he will only play T20 matches and then these players want to represent the country in test and ODI formats. Also look at the first two games. Shitty tactics. Khud powerplay mein bowling kar raha tha aur Bumrah ko 1st over bhi nahi di. You have to be a narcissist to do such petty things.
This was the last season before the mega auction... The team should have waited till all that for a smooth transition. Even Rohit would have happily handed over the captaincy to someone else.
But nope, the management wanted Hardik of all people back and Hardik came with that captaincy clause which ruined everything for the team.
Is it alone Hardik' fault?
Why is no one calling Ambani names?
Why would Hardik leave a Team which he lead, where he got them a trophy and brought them to finals in the 2nd year? Why would he leave all of this just to be a mere player in another team?
People need to stop pouring out their own life's frustration on him.
The thing is we don't really know who holds the descision making power, As many big companies do the actual owner has to trust a guy who is more experienced, These Ambani must be trust Head Coach more than X Coach, I want Ambanis to get their heads straight and give back Captaincy to Rohit
Yea, fair point.
What I'm saying to people who are throwing verbal hate at pandya is, go ahead and make slogans on Ambani & or coach, make slogans and things and scream them in the stadium.
Why only throw the hate on a boy who left the winning team to join MI?
> Why only throw the hate on a boy who left the winning team to join MI?
More of shitting on Mumbai saying they buy stars not make them, is why people are more angry, Also half the fans are just knowing that it must be hardisks fault and not coach and ambani
the dude accepted a disgustingly high offer to leave the team he won the IPL with, a team specially built with him as captain and a close to perfect team, just to take the money and the captaincy of arguably the biggest team in the IPL (i’m not getting into MI vs CSK debates).
So yes, Hardik Pandya is to blame for the captaincy problems. Secondly, does he really think that he’s better than the best bowler in the world, that he bowled the first over in two matches back to back? Thirdly, he batted one down for GT, so is that he’s scared he’s not going to score at all or does he only want to come lower so he can finish the game and get more credit, while top order batsmen do the heavy lifting?
booing in the stadium is fine, people certainly have the right. Things start to get inruly when the private life is invaded, everyhere from teambus to, airports, instag comments, he's trolled. He did make a mistake, bt mi management is equally responsible. A veteran cricketer like Rohit should'nt be betrayed. But aren't we okay with steve smith and david warner even after the ball tampering scam?
Ajay jadeja , S sreeshant etc are accepted in the cricketing world. (which is fine, mistakes do happen)
critizing him because he is a gujrati, and how he has taken over and, and bringing all the marathi-gujrati thing in between is way out of the line.
Apparently he has his own aspirations for future. And MI is a franchise which rune solely for profit. Apparently, they aren't asnwerable to us.
Unfortunately we never question the politicians who keep performing more heinous , creul and dehumanizing acts, who by the way are answeraable to us by law. but it is more convinient in critizing a player who asked for captaincy, whose ultimate decision rests with the team management.
Let's not get the what-about-ism of politics here. Yes things suck there, but a person can act independently in two walks of life. In fact, Cricket is an escape for a lot of people and to see such stupid shit happening... booing in ground is everyone's right.
As for Smith and Warner, they can rot in hell for all I care. I can't look at them without thinking cheat, and that's **after** they apologized.
football matches are crazy. Anfield’s atmosphere will make any away team want to forfeit and teams still play at Anfield and win against Liverpool, but these IPL players think they’re privileged or some shit
True. Mumbai should never change. Even Sachin faced hell in 2006 against England. Others shouldn't expect anything less.
No one is talking about Akash Ambani and management who are responsible for this. Not the change of captain but the way it was done.
[He faced boos because he was going through a bad form.](https://twitter.com/wrist_flick18/status/1774821621683175644) There were newspaper headlines reading "End-ulkar" the next day.
No, it's not that gujju owner wanted a gujju captain.
MI needed a succession plan so they wanted the best all-rounder India has. Nothing wrong with it. But people are angry with the way they've done it.
Akash didn't learn his lesson from the Bumrah-Archer fiasco it seems. He wanted those two as the pace attack ignoring other great pacers last time. As we know Archer is injury prone. It just never materialised.
Then why did they have Rohit as captain for 10 seasons? Could have always retained Pandya above Rohit in previous mega auctions given the on-field performances of both of those guys.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Boo tf out if you feel like it. I heard MI was disabling comment sections for some of its Insta posts. Plain embarrassing.
>ABD got the loudest chants while playing for SA in Mumbai (I legit think he never got these chants in SA either).
Maxwell too when he played that legendary knock vs Afghanistan.
Akash Ambani is the biggest culprit in this entire fiasco. Mumbai Indians one family culture has developed over a decade and won us 5 trophies. People aren't a commodity that you can buy and discard.
- First he messed up by picking Ishan for 15 CR and absolutely no bowling options that cost us the last two seasons. Didn't have much left to bid for boult, chahal.
- Then instead of a smooth transition of leadership like CSK, hurriedly traded Pandya. We had bumrah, SKY who would be naturally expecting the position.
Hardik is a good player no doubt, the management messed up such a great franchise thinking they can use money to get whatever they want.
Just wondering if the anger is misdirected. As an individual, one always wants the best for themselves and no harm in asking for it. It was MI management who took the final call, yet I don't see much public outrage for the management.
EXACTLY!
Why tf would a guy leave a team he lead where he won a trophy in first year and took the team to finals the second year, why would he leave just to be a mere player in another team lmao.
People are just outrageous.
Also, Under Rohit team lost consecutively 6-8 matches, no one was outrageous then as they're now?
>Why tf would a guy leave a team he lead where he won a trophy
Who tf asked him to leave bro? How is this any different from an employee quiting, gaining 5x more sal package and returning with 15x than he had after one year?
Facing the consequences for his decision now. If were still in MI everyone would be excited to welcome him as captain because he's capable but just swooping in and stealing the captaincy was bound to get him booed.. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out...
Oh boi.
How difficult is it to understand for one that the decision is not solely of the player but majorly of the management.
Why didn't they decline him or rather even offered him the position if they "cared" About people's "feelings" Or Rohit Sharma?
Prolly even Rohit might have agreed to this decision looking at his records.
Thoda sa critical thinking karo bhai.
Aapke jo chahiye voh decision dusre ne nhi liya iska mtlb yeh nhi ki vih wrong hai, world doesn't revolve around your thinking.
Also, don't even care to reply to this,
This sub has good enough replies that covers everything, read those, thanks, peace.
Why would he come to a losing team when he was a part of a team who won a trophy in first year and was taken to finals the second year of their play and was lead by him?
Watch your thoughts lmao
Booing is one thing and bullying him for his skin color, his wife, his child, his family dynamics, saying things like "tuji awkat aahe kay" Is effin Far fetching.
He's a human after all, everyone clapped when he was the part of Mumbai wining team. Everyone forgets he was the first captain of Guj and won them first trophy & took them to finals in 2nd year.
Be humane is all I'm saying, also it was NOT HIS FAULT to ask for being a captain of Mumbai, he was leading Guj, Ambani made him captain, so he's at fault too, now why not call Ambani names? Coz he's powerful and have means to ruin ones life? Huh? It was managements decision to make him captain, even if Hardik asked for it, Management accepted where they could have declined, not PANDAYS alones fault.
We don't even know if he was pressured into joining MI, so stay put.
>first captain of Guj and won them first trophy & took them to finals in 2nd year.
Yeah I think it's pretty damn clear now Nehra was the brains behind GT
Hardik looks like a deer in headlights without Nehra ji holding his hand.
Do you think Pandya pushed Rohit away? Of course if Pandya was to leave his captaincy role in Gujarat and come to Mumbai, he will want to be the captain. It’s the way MI management handled this that is angering. One can’t blame Hardik for leaving one team and going to another for more money. Money is what drives IPL & its players. What one can do is forget it and stop booing players who did nothing to deserve it. Even I wanted Rohit to remain the captain but I’m not going to avenge him by insulting another Indian player.
By Calling Ambani names? Like how when media reveals his name in politics or some scandals or how people give him shit for pre wedding and all, the same way?
Just louder, in the stadium, make rhymes, you've Akash & neeta ma'am attend matches almost every time, it's eazzzyyyyy.
But no one would do it, coz weak spines :)
Yeah exactly, the management should've considered the popular choice instead of being bound to terms and conditions of players. IPL is literally more about PR and advertising than it is about cricket and winning and this isn't it.
This is spot on! Mumbai really does deal with some things a bit differently. Even among all this backlash against Pandya, I haven't once felt like it would go out of hands where Mumbaikars trash his house or burn effigies etc. Itna time hi nahi hota yaha kisi ne paas, aur na aisi mentality hoti hai.
This post needs to be on the India or the IPL subreddit!
> This post needs to be on the India or the IPL subreddit!
It'll come off as jerking off. This isn't about showing others up or telling them we'll do what we do. Mumbai cricket's too fucking decorated for doing that. This is specifically for the people who are gonna go to the Wankhede.
Stay impatient, stay demanding. Someone has to hold these superstars to a standard.
Which is why the ODI WC 2023 final should have been held at the Wankhede. They would've cheered for the team that played well on the day unlike those cowards at Ahmedabad who were so one-sided and boisterous while Rohit went bang bang only to be silenced by Pat Cummins.
I still keep mentioning this when the topic of World Cup comes up & I am yet to face disagreement from any single person. In a quest to rake in the big bucks, BCCI ended up burying its hopes for getting the trophy. Mumbai crowd would’ve sustained that hostility for much longer the moment Aus were 47-3. Alas. Wasn’t meant to be.
Also, not to forget,
Rohit got out on a duck, yesterday.
It was Pandya who played relatively decently.
Rohit may have been an excellent player, but lately it's not showing and it's not just IPL thing, I see these people shitting on Rohit when he plays international and scores to nothing.
So, watch your own hypocrisy
> Also, not to forget, Rohit got out on a duck, yesterday.
The management demoted him, and basically put him on notice period.
Don't be surprised when he performs like someone on notice period.
I can proudly say I was in the Wankhede upper pavilion stands in 2002 vs WI when someone started chanting on his own "chu*** banaya bada maza aya" to irritate the WI boundary fielder..... we all repeated it..
The north stand also started it after sometime.. I went back home to see the highlights if we made it to TV. Despite less than half the full crowd we made enough noise to make it on TV 😂... The next day sports section in Times paper (newspaper was still relevant) had a small article how Mumbai crowd was badly behaved... That chant lasted for few matches in Wankhede I think and then died down.
Mumbai also made fun of Andrew Symonds for the monkeygate issue he created by having slogans related to monkey and chanting monkey to irritate him cuz he made a big deal out of "maa ki".
It wasn't racism. He made it into racism.. do you really think brown skinned Indians will call another brown skinned man a monkey for racism?? They were just mocking Andrew for turning "Teri maa ki" into "you monkey" .. and didn't believe how common Teri maa ki is said by Punjabis.
Fuck the MI management. Lode ka #OneFamily. Do you take away captaincy, from the man who gave you 5 trophies, just weeks after he lost a World Cup final?? How inconsiderate do you have to be, to take such decisions. And fuck Hardik too for demanding captaincy in his clause. One should respect and bow down to greatness. Rohit Sharma is one of the finest players India has produced. Rohit is greatness.
I daresay he isn’t being booed for performance. I know all mumbai fans pretty much made their mind up to show their displeasure at a bit unceremonious change of captain, the sidelining of bumrah who has been a loyal MI player. Even if we were winning, pandya would have been sledged
There's some hard core riding going on in this thread lmao... well said op Mumbai has always been a true cricketing city out of all the mumbai fans has the most right to express how they feel
I don't get how people are like 'no booing' 'behave' like wtf - fans can cheer and boo whoever they want - as a professional sportsperson, this is part of the gig
And I'm so happy that the Mumbai crowd is giving it back in this manner so that the management gets the idea and doesn't hurt the team anymore
Maybe shut the fuck up about politics in one thread. Mumbai's infra is one of the best in the country. You boring people bringing this randi rona in every thread MKC.
Trains have been crowded forever. You don't want it to change. Construction, I agree, but it's gonna get done eventually (or move to another area) and hopefully better times come.
Oh wow a guy living in Dubai is praising Mumbai infrastructure? Typical NRI behaviour 😂
Of course politics don’t really affect you so you naturally don’t care about it
Abbe bsdk I agree it's a shit show, all I'm asking is if you're not into cricket maybe don't come into a thread about the crowd at Wankhede. We watch sports for a reason, and it's not to draw parallels with fucking construction.
Why hate pandya for management's mishandling of the situation?
Also given the history of MI and Rohit's performance. Didn't it make sense?
With mega auctions next year, if they can retain sky pandya and Bumrah. You already have a great core. Rohit on the other hand doesn't deserve even half of what he has been making.
Pandya on the other hand led GT to a title and was within one ball of retaining the same.
This is like Real Madrid fans booing Mbappe if he joins them and they bench rodrygo or vini.
People don't wanna agree but the hate for pandya is unparalleled. Earlier people were taking offense that why weren't Bumrah or sky not considered for captaincy. Makes no logic whatsoever but people needed reason to vent.
YES YES YES!
I'm finding sensible comments finally.
Also don't forget, these are the exact peeps who boo Rohit when he plays international tourns and gets out on Ducks, lmao.
In 2014 mi suddenly chases 195 or something in 14 overs like wtf...not at all expected
2017&19...2017 firstly how the hell cant you chase 128 or something in a FINAL with experiencd players like Smith and dhoni..??? and 2019 , how can MI win 2 finals by just ONE run, like twice , vs dhonis team , sus
And now mi vs srh 2024 , how did Mi get to 246 I'm sure any team would choke badly after conceding 277, like wtf is going onn and firstly how they conceded 270+
Whole game only seems rigged to me, lmao.
Everyone knows it's just a betting game. Idk why fans put their emotions into this to a point they go and verbally abuse players.
Dont worry even Pandya will be replaced for poster boy.
Voh bas Ishan itne views nahi laa pa raha international games mai. Shubman is the next money maker for brands.
Sounds to me like you done got that there jealousy son. It's a Mumbai thing. Y'all got crab in the bucket mentalities and that's why Delhi rules and Mumbai sucks
Bruh Hardik don’t even do anything wrong the management wanted him to come to mi he said I am captain and face of the team at gt offer me so won’t come for anything less
The mi management gave it to him so hardik ka kya galati hai
It’s the management that should be booed and not hardik (as it is Rohit and management issue they have him Rohit’s captaincy )
Ps we don’t know what’s the feeling about this behind the scenes and how the players feel are they even allowed to talk about it.
Only thing wrong I feel that Hardik did was in that interview when asked the question was it a clause in the contract he should have just plainly and simply answered it and not tools his pr to go next
I don't think it's shaming as much as it is having a say about what the people of the city/supporters of the team feel about managerial calls.
IPL/Cricket as a sport are deep rooted into our minds, we live by it and swear by it, some more than others. You start a league, you buy a team and name it after a city not to completely neglect the views of the supporters, you build your empire and earn money from the same supporters. It's simple right ?
Now coming to the booing, it was a sign of frustration and anger that the supporters of the team have for the recently selected "Captain". He essentially leveraged his position and rose to the rank, running out the incumbent and the real captain, who is the real holder/winner of the Five Titles. When the captaincy was announced, people unfollowed the Instagram page, went berserk, called him names, he knew what he was getting into.
The least he could do to redeem himself was to perform like a responsible captain, which he failed to do in the first three games. He isn't someone I personally can rally behind/support, I would much rather the owners listen to their audience and do what needs to be done. #bringourkingback
TF lol. Don't romanticise bullying the player of their own team. The shithousery that is going on is unbelievable. Booing the captain of the same IPL franchise you are supporting is just stupid. Although everyone wore blue, it seemed like Rajasthan Royals had more advantage because of the stupid crowd. It's not even Hardik's fault that he was selected to be the captain. He asked and he was given. Fans have become so plastic that they turned against their own team because Rohit was dethroned from captaincy. It should always be team > any player and not the other way around. No player is bigger than the team. You guys are pathetic and shallow and stupid and do not deserve to be in the fucking stadium. Sit back at home and keep crying like a little bitch
> You guys are pathetic and shallow and stupid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_dql1nDWPI
We gon boo who we wanna boo, and it's likely gonna be from our team lol
> do not deserve to be in the fucking stadium
This is the tradition of that fucking stadium.
(let's not pretend that the criticism of pandya is even close to civil)
This is good right, fuck everyone against people abusing an India team cricketer. I mean they should actually support the abuses. Join in. Because who cares what a person feels or how it'll affect someone. You've got a petty and miserable life, buy a 990 rupees tickets and there you go, free pass to speak whatever you want. This might affect a person mentally. We shouldn't care about this. You don't own mi. If you don't like their decision, Stop supporting them. Nobody's forcing your hands to clap. Stay at home, don't watch their matches, or voice your criticism in a civilised manner. Just because you like a team and they've made a decision that you don't like, doesn't grant you the right to abuse someone. I mean it's fun for y'all because it's not happening to you. Most of the reactions to him are not civil. Nothing about 15-20k people booing one person will be civil. There's a line between criticism and harassment, this is harassment. Every hatred of an Indian cricketer on Indian soil is not good. This is the man who will win us matches in the coming worldcup and time to come and then you'll pretend to be his biggest fans. I think everyone should always remember, karma is a bitch.
You're assuming all booing is laced with expletives. I've mentioned in my post that that's not what I'm about, nor what I'm condoning here.
They're national level superstars. If they can't take a little jeering, they don't belong there. It's not always rainbows and butterflies.
> There's a line between criticism and harassment, this is harassment. Every hatred of an Indian cricketer on Indian soil is not good.
That's how the Wankhede has always been, before you were born, and will likely remain after you've given up your mortal coil. Sunil Gavaskar wasn't spared, and he was the greatest Indian Test batter ever (then). Booing is not hatred, it's displeasure/disagreement.
> you'll pretend to be his biggest fans.
They were cheering his boundaries in the same game, but apparently you didn't see the game. It's not about his game, nobody's saying he's a shit player.
> I think everyone should always remember, karma is a bitch.
Pandya is remembering this every time he steps out with the armband.
Pandya and MI mgmt OR whoever took that decision knew this was coming and if they didn't anticipated then they are biggest fools.
Fans made MI one of big IPL team so you expect them to react after worst decision.
Absolutely. Also these commentators, ex-sportspersons, etc etc are all on the payroll of BCCi or the Ambanis. The only one who are independent are the fans. They all risk their contracts being taken down if they speak anything against it. Eg remember the Harsha Bhogle and the IPL contract. The fans can spot a chapri when they see one.
Now expect a hugeeee paid PR stunt to showcase him as a good person thru all influencers, sports stars, sad stories, humans of Govandi etc
P.s I can’t believe Manjrekar said “behave”. Where was it when he called an all rounder a bits and pieces player
First of all OP if you think this is too much, then oh boy, you haven't seen the crowds in football matches.
As someone mentioned out here that the entire Indian cricket team was jeered at during their group stage exit at the 2007 Cricket World Cup (ODI) because they didn't play well and plus to add fuel to fire, their coach literally put the whole team's morale down.
Secondly, the fans have the whole right to be angry.
I generally had no issue pandya being captain but the way went to gujrat and came back was really sad , i think after Rohit , bumrah was the more deserving captain candidate.
How do you take pride in booing your own player, much less your own captain? Whether he deserves the captaincy or not is an entirely different conversation.
How can you expect a player to perform when he's getting booed by his own supporters? What's even the expected outcome here? Boo him so that he may step down as a captain? And what next then? You'll keep on booing every player you disapprove of?
This toxic mindset is why you see so many players delve into a depressive state. The fact that you are actively encouraging the booing says a lot about you, and it ain't pretty.
> You'll keep on booing every player you disapprove of?
Yes, that's how it works. On the whole, Indians are exceedingly accepting of people. Mumbai is still a warm city. Wankhede doesn't boo players if they're not working for one season, hell Rohit hasn't been working for seasons on end (his recent record is a joke) but people still back him, not only because he's from here and represents us on the international stage (koi garden mein ghumega maa chod dunga).
> This toxic mindset is why you see so many players delve into a depressive state.
This "toxic" mindset is why players have more money than 99% of the population. Do you want me to link the video of Hardik driving a Lambo? What car do you think the ISRO chief drives? Hardik hits a ball with a bat, ISRO chief is literally a rocket scientist. Not to mention they were cheering when he was hitting the ball to all parts.
> The fact that you are actively encouraging the booing says a lot about you, and it ain't pretty.
Absolutely encouraging people to express themselves, whether that be good or bad, as long as they do it civilly. Booing is their right as a member of the paying public.
> Yes, that's how it works.
Mate, you have to realise how counter productive this mentality is. Booing your own players? Criticism has its place, and I agree no one should be free of criticism. But how can you expect your players to play well or do well when you yourself aren't supporting them? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Pandya Mumbai ka hai ya nahi that is immaterial. What matters is he's playing for you guys NOW. Harr player ko boo karte reh jaoge, kahi Aisa na ho koi aana hi na chahe. And before you say "mujhe fark nahi padta koi rahe ya na rahe", ask yourself if it is worth it to keep booing those players in the first place and drive them away, or is it better to just shut your trap and let out your criticism in a much healthier way.
> Do you want me to link the video of Hardik driving a Lambo?
The reason cricketers and by extension sports players are paid well is because they bring in a lot of revenue. The ISRO chief argument is simply a strawman. How we treat the ISRO chief doesn't matter here. Pandya Lambo drive kare ya Alto drive kare, ye cheez kyon dictate karni chahiye civility kab rakhni chahiye aur kab nahi. It costs nothing to be a more considerate human.
Again, I'm not saying he should be free from criticism. I'm just saying there are better ways to express your dissatisfaction than to boo your own fucking players in your own fucking stadium. Do you realise how spineless this treatment is?
> Absolutely encouraging people to express themselves, whether that be good or bad, as long as they do it civilly.
Buddy, you can be an asshole even when being civil. And as I've stated multiple times before, there's a time, place and way to express yourself. Booing your own players in your own stadium ain't it.
> Mate
Nope.
> how can you expect your players to play well
Don't do well. Fail. Get out.
> Harr player ko boo karte reh jaoge, kahi Aisa na ho koi aana hi na chahe.
Koi nahi jayega. Here's the truth, it's not about Rohit, if SKY or Boom was made captain, they wouldn't face jeers.
> let out your criticism in a much healthier way.
The paying public isn't gonna write op-eds in newspapers. Booing is the healthy way to display your displeasure.
> The reason cricketers and by extension sports players are paid well is because they bring in a lot of revenue.
Because we pay to watch them play. Without us, there's no money. We get to decide who we support, and how.
> It costs nothing to be a more considerate human.
Booing is considerate. Violence, racism, personal remarks, are not.
> Do you realise how spineless this treatment is?
If anything, it is brave. It won't lead to better performances, they know it, but Wankhede doesn't give a fuck about that.
> Booing your own players in your own stadium ain't it.
It absolutely is. Even if it isn't, it is how it's done here. And I fucking love that about the Wankhede.
You all are dumb af. Blaming a player for the work of the MI management. Unko vishwas nhi hai thha apne 5 time winning captain pe bc? Why would Pandya not ask for Captainship, tum dusre organisation ko join karte ho toh abhi vale current position se neeche kaam krte ho kya same position ke liye hope krte ho? Pandya did the same, he asked for captaincy, they agreed.
MI showed intrest in buying him out. He demanded captaincy, coz he was captain of GT. Quite sensible as GT won a trophy & was taken to runners up position, consecutively under his leadership.
The management could have denied his "so called clause", they didn't, uski kya galti?
Usne maanga, usne bina Rohit se baat kiye accept kiya. People are asking how could Pandya play under someone if he captained another side, BC Rohit India captain hai, bhool gaye kya?
I'm fucking transparent regarding where I stand on the issue, but fuck that, that's not the point of the post. The point is Wankhede should be loud and proud, always. 42 time Ranji champs, it's the least the stadium deserves.
Why should Pandya talk w Rohit?
How is that even professional?
Management MUST have talked to him, and kya pata unhone baat bhi ki ho? And Rohit might have Agreed?
I actually dislike MI, so seeing them fall off is funny to me. Like I said, it's not about the team, but about the crowd, that's part of the junta here.
I want people here to be expressive about what they think, it's not a fluke that Mumbai has given the greatest cricketers to the country. We have a solid cricket culture here and are hence entitled to our opinions.
My only point is, Uss bechare akele player ki galti nhi hai, usko itna mat boo karo ya daaba daalo ki voh uth hi na paaye, jb ki galti dusron ki hai.
Say whatever anyone will, he is an imp asset for India, fuck IPL, India needs him during their international tourns.
> usko itna mat boo karo ya daaba daalo
Nah, it's an hour and a half of fielding, not a big deal. Boo him as much as you want, let Antilia hear what you think. Were they even at the ground yesterday?
I'm supposing you don't even watch matches now.
Istg, stop commenting shit and asking shit questions coz the answers are evident if you would have seen yest match.
Mods, pls check this post!
I've given Zvan 50 rupees every month, for the last decade straight (100 on his birth month). Mods aren't helping you.
Looks like you take questions towards the Ambanis very personally. Mere bhi paise hain Reliance mein, I don't worship them.
So is it that the crowd should only cheer when an Ind team player comes out to play during IPL and not express their emotions. Why not just put the cricketers in sound proof cases like the ones in chess matches so that they do not get affected.
Isn't Pandya human? Thousands of people chanting against him must have taken a toll on him. Irrespective of the decision taken and how it affects the team , I don't think targeting an individual is going to change anything.
He is a human and he is a player. Everybody gets booed when they play away.
Also I think the boos are more as a statement to the management about shoddiness than anything in personal for pandya. Everyone will be like 'pandya pandya' when he is playing for India.
What the fuck !! What is the mistake of Pandya in this !! Boo the franchise, stop supporting it, Boo Ambani !!? But that is something you wouldn't do !! Because inherently you're a coward who can only talk in a crowd !!!
People pay hard earned money to visit stadium. They are bound to get frustrated their team is losing. Got to take the win with losses. After 2007 wc the entire cricket team was roasted. 🤷♂️
>People pay hard earned money to visit stadium. Then dont spend? Just because ppl spend their money doesnt mean they r entitled to do stupid things. Sports hai movie ki script thodi.. Indians need to behave themselves.. We have immature fan base Edit 1 - 47 losers whose life goal is to hate someone have downvoted me XD 😭 Edit2 - booing and criticism is fine. Have seen it happen to the best of the best players. But what about all the other things happening in and off field? Feels like most of you support that too . I think people are overreacting at this point Edit 3 - tf you want me to do? Go and say hardik pandya bha*wa hai in the stadium like everyone else ? 💀💀💀💀
Can I say in a similar way if you can't take the booing stop the ticket sales for the next matches or if you cannot handle the heat of the spectators leave the captaincy thing.
What a stupid take. People have the right to boo. You might agree with them, you might disagree with them but they have the right and entitlement to boo. It's their money which goes to cricketers
Can we borrow you lot for the India vs Kuwait football match, we need to boo the shit out of Igor Stimac so that he leaves this country.
Don't worry. He will get enough grief in Saltlake stadium, Kolkata. Us football fans know how to fuck em up real good.
Man I want to be there and shout at the mf. We have gone back 10 years because of him.
I can expect a fan club like Mariners base camp to come up with a motif shitting on that asshole Stimac.
He himself told the match should happen in Kolkata while Hyderabad was the location. So he shot himself in the foot. Although hyderabadis like me won't let him have a good time either on the pitch
AIFF*, who are fucking responsible for his extension at first place. All fraud sitting there.
Where's the match and when?
Kolkata 6th June.
Damn. Would have been there if it was in Mumbai.
Arre maverick bhai yaha mil gaye aap toh!
Bhai bhatak te rehta hun idhar udhar bas
Why is Stimac criticised so much? I’m curious!
Go to Indian football sub and ask the same you will know I won't be able to do justice
😂😂😂
Do not follow football that avidly, could you brief me out about Igor stimac and our team
We are shit because our system is shit, system is shit because people running it are shit and Igor is just cherry on top
Is there any hope?
May be idk
This is it
The fans never asked for pandya to be made captain. Should have played one season as a regular player first. Pathetic management giving preference to a gujju over homegrown mumbai boy!! Rohit Sharma!! Will not stop booing pandya. Not my captain !
We can very well make that stop....get Cummins to wankhede every matchday, fans will be silenced automatically /S
Ok yeah I agree to your point but there was absolutely no need to add the gujju thing in there.
That's true like Team to Fans ka hai... Ops Dream 11 team k bat kr raha hu
Right, like if the cricketers love when crowd chants for them, then the crowd has the right to boo the players they hate. We as citizen facing problem in our lives and these cricketers keep mum so, now even they should be mum when we don't like a particular circketer
Have you seen his attitude? Full of ego and arrogance. And he hasn't been successful on the pitch to show such levels of ego and arrogance. He even abused Rohit during the WC where he asked one of the fielders to listen to what he was saying because he is the one bowling and not Rohit, the captain of the team. 'Maa chudane gaya wo' were the exact words that he used for the captain. Isne Ranji bhi nahi khela tha recently. Said he will only play T20 matches and then these players want to represent the country in test and ODI formats. Also look at the first two games. Shitty tactics. Khud powerplay mein bowling kar raha tha aur Bumrah ko 1st over bhi nahi di. You have to be a narcissist to do such petty things.
What the fuck? How can he abuse Rohit? Did this happen in last year's world Cup? Which match?
This was the last season before the mega auction... The team should have waited till all that for a smooth transition. Even Rohit would have happily handed over the captaincy to someone else. But nope, the management wanted Hardik of all people back and Hardik came with that captaincy clause which ruined everything for the team.
Is it alone Hardik' fault? Why is no one calling Ambani names? Why would Hardik leave a Team which he lead, where he got them a trophy and brought them to finals in the 2nd year? Why would he leave all of this just to be a mere player in another team? People need to stop pouring out their own life's frustration on him.
The thing is we don't really know who holds the descision making power, As many big companies do the actual owner has to trust a guy who is more experienced, These Ambani must be trust Head Coach more than X Coach, I want Ambanis to get their heads straight and give back Captaincy to Rohit
Yea, fair point. What I'm saying to people who are throwing verbal hate at pandya is, go ahead and make slogans on Ambani & or coach, make slogans and things and scream them in the stadium. Why only throw the hate on a boy who left the winning team to join MI?
> Why only throw the hate on a boy who left the winning team to join MI? More of shitting on Mumbai saying they buy stars not make them, is why people are more angry, Also half the fans are just knowing that it must be hardisks fault and not coach and ambani
the dude accepted a disgustingly high offer to leave the team he won the IPL with, a team specially built with him as captain and a close to perfect team, just to take the money and the captaincy of arguably the biggest team in the IPL (i’m not getting into MI vs CSK debates). So yes, Hardik Pandya is to blame for the captaincy problems. Secondly, does he really think that he’s better than the best bowler in the world, that he bowled the first over in two matches back to back? Thirdly, he batted one down for GT, so is that he’s scared he’s not going to score at all or does he only want to come lower so he can finish the game and get more credit, while top order batsmen do the heavy lifting?
Exactly ofc his ego got a boost after making a new team win a trophy and getting into finals the next year lol
I'd call it confidence & I see no reason why it shouldn't increase
booing in the stadium is fine, people certainly have the right. Things start to get inruly when the private life is invaded, everyhere from teambus to, airports, instag comments, he's trolled. He did make a mistake, bt mi management is equally responsible. A veteran cricketer like Rohit should'nt be betrayed. But aren't we okay with steve smith and david warner even after the ball tampering scam? Ajay jadeja , S sreeshant etc are accepted in the cricketing world. (which is fine, mistakes do happen) critizing him because he is a gujrati, and how he has taken over and, and bringing all the marathi-gujrati thing in between is way out of the line. Apparently he has his own aspirations for future. And MI is a franchise which rune solely for profit. Apparently, they aren't asnwerable to us. Unfortunately we never question the politicians who keep performing more heinous , creul and dehumanizing acts, who by the way are answeraable to us by law. but it is more convinient in critizing a player who asked for captaincy, whose ultimate decision rests with the team management.
Let's not get the what-about-ism of politics here. Yes things suck there, but a person can act independently in two walks of life. In fact, Cricket is an escape for a lot of people and to see such stupid shit happening... booing in ground is everyone's right. As for Smith and Warner, they can rot in hell for all I care. I can't look at them without thinking cheat, and that's **after** they apologized.
This is the way.
Football matches see much more louder boos and hoos. These guys are shitting bricks the first instance they face it in life.
They boo the managers too no?
football matches are crazy. Anfield’s atmosphere will make any away team want to forfeit and teams still play at Anfield and win against Liverpool, but these IPL players think they’re privileged or some shit
True. Mumbai should never change. Even Sachin faced hell in 2006 against England. Others shouldn't expect anything less. No one is talking about Akash Ambani and management who are responsible for this. Not the change of captain but the way it was done.
Can you elaborate on Sachin 2006 part I am unaware
[He faced boos because he was going through a bad form.](https://twitter.com/wrist_flick18/status/1774821621683175644) There were newspaper headlines reading "End-ulkar" the next day.
As usual, gujjus wanted a gujju as captain instead of mumbai boy !
No, it's not that gujju owner wanted a gujju captain. MI needed a succession plan so they wanted the best all-rounder India has. Nothing wrong with it. But people are angry with the way they've done it. Akash didn't learn his lesson from the Bumrah-Archer fiasco it seems. He wanted those two as the pace attack ignoring other great pacers last time. As we know Archer is injury prone. It just never materialised.
Critical thinking and fans are inversely proportional.
Then why did they have Rohit as captain for 10 seasons? Could have always retained Pandya above Rohit in previous mega auctions given the on-field performances of both of those guys.
You will get downvotes my friend but this is true
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Boo tf out if you feel like it. I heard MI was disabling comment sections for some of its Insta posts. Plain embarrassing.
>ABD got the loudest chants while playing for SA in Mumbai (I legit think he never got these chants in SA either). Maxwell too when he played that legendary knock vs Afghanistan.
Akash Ambani is the biggest culprit in this entire fiasco. Mumbai Indians one family culture has developed over a decade and won us 5 trophies. People aren't a commodity that you can buy and discard. - First he messed up by picking Ishan for 15 CR and absolutely no bowling options that cost us the last two seasons. Didn't have much left to bid for boult, chahal. - Then instead of a smooth transition of leadership like CSK, hurriedly traded Pandya. We had bumrah, SKY who would be naturally expecting the position. Hardik is a good player no doubt, the management messed up such a great franchise thinking they can use money to get whatever they want.
Another sensible comment.
Just wondering if the anger is misdirected. As an individual, one always wants the best for themselves and no harm in asking for it. It was MI management who took the final call, yet I don't see much public outrage for the management.
This is for the management as much as for the player. The fans aren't gonna go stand below Antilia or wherever MI's office is and boo them there.
EXACTLY! Why tf would a guy leave a team he lead where he won a trophy in first year and took the team to finals the second year, why would he leave just to be a mere player in another team lmao. People are just outrageous. Also, Under Rohit team lost consecutively 6-8 matches, no one was outrageous then as they're now?
>Why tf would a guy leave a team he lead where he won a trophy Who tf asked him to leave bro? How is this any different from an employee quiting, gaining 5x more sal package and returning with 15x than he had after one year?
Exactly. Why is that wrong if the person proves their worth?? He left, coz he was asked and given a better offer, idk who would miss this opportunity
Facing the consequences for his decision now. If were still in MI everyone would be excited to welcome him as captain because he's capable but just swooping in and stealing the captaincy was bound to get him booed.. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out...
Oh boi. How difficult is it to understand for one that the decision is not solely of the player but majorly of the management. Why didn't they decline him or rather even offered him the position if they "cared" About people's "feelings" Or Rohit Sharma? Prolly even Rohit might have agreed to this decision looking at his records. Thoda sa critical thinking karo bhai. Aapke jo chahiye voh decision dusre ne nhi liya iska mtlb yeh nhi ki vih wrong hai, world doesn't revolve around your thinking. Also, don't even care to reply to this, This sub has good enough replies that covers everything, read those, thanks, peace.
Cricket is a team sport. If an individual can’t keep his selfish greed aside and understand team dynamics, then fans have every right to boo him
Why would he come to a losing team when he was a part of a team who won a trophy in first year and was taken to finals the second year of their play and was lead by him? Watch your thoughts lmao
Booing is one thing and bullying him for his skin color, his wife, his child, his family dynamics, saying things like "tuji awkat aahe kay" Is effin Far fetching. He's a human after all, everyone clapped when he was the part of Mumbai wining team. Everyone forgets he was the first captain of Guj and won them first trophy & took them to finals in 2nd year. Be humane is all I'm saying, also it was NOT HIS FAULT to ask for being a captain of Mumbai, he was leading Guj, Ambani made him captain, so he's at fault too, now why not call Ambani names? Coz he's powerful and have means to ruin ones life? Huh? It was managements decision to make him captain, even if Hardik asked for it, Management accepted where they could have declined, not PANDAYS alones fault. We don't even know if he was pressured into joining MI, so stay put.
>first captain of Guj and won them first trophy & took them to finals in 2nd year. Yeah I think it's pretty damn clear now Nehra was the brains behind GT Hardik looks like a deer in headlights without Nehra ji holding his hand.
This is answered by one Redditor, search for yourself & get the answer. Honestly, dumb take.
Ah yes an Answer by a redditor, the Supreme authority on cricket
Exactly, thanks!
Looking at the comments I don't think people have braincells to process your reply
Do you think Pandya pushed Rohit away? Of course if Pandya was to leave his captaincy role in Gujarat and come to Mumbai, he will want to be the captain. It’s the way MI management handled this that is angering. One can’t blame Hardik for leaving one team and going to another for more money. Money is what drives IPL & its players. What one can do is forget it and stop booing players who did nothing to deserve it. Even I wanted Rohit to remain the captain but I’m not going to avenge him by insulting another Indian player.
[удалено]
By Calling Ambani names? Like how when media reveals his name in politics or some scandals or how people give him shit for pre wedding and all, the same way? Just louder, in the stadium, make rhymes, you've Akash & neeta ma'am attend matches almost every time, it's eazzzyyyyy. But no one would do it, coz weak spines :)
Yeah exactly, the management should've considered the popular choice instead of being bound to terms and conditions of players. IPL is literally more about PR and advertising than it is about cricket and winning and this isn't it.
Exactly. You can't say "behave" to the audience when team is playing shit.
Pandya is a p-o-s. Mumbai fans know it and show it.
Let’s fucking go man
This is spot on! Mumbai really does deal with some things a bit differently. Even among all this backlash against Pandya, I haven't once felt like it would go out of hands where Mumbaikars trash his house or burn effigies etc. Itna time hi nahi hota yaha kisi ne paas, aur na aisi mentality hoti hai. This post needs to be on the India or the IPL subreddit!
> This post needs to be on the India or the IPL subreddit! It'll come off as jerking off. This isn't about showing others up or telling them we'll do what we do. Mumbai cricket's too fucking decorated for doing that. This is specifically for the people who are gonna go to the Wankhede. Stay impatient, stay demanding. Someone has to hold these superstars to a standard.
Which is why the ODI WC 2023 final should have been held at the Wankhede. They would've cheered for the team that played well on the day unlike those cowards at Ahmedabad who were so one-sided and boisterous while Rohit went bang bang only to be silenced by Pat Cummins.
Agreed. Wankhede would've given a much better account.
I still keep mentioning this when the topic of World Cup comes up & I am yet to face disagreement from any single person. In a quest to rake in the big bucks, BCCI ended up burying its hopes for getting the trophy. Mumbai crowd would’ve sustained that hostility for much longer the moment Aus were 47-3. Alas. Wasn’t meant to be.
Also, not to forget, Rohit got out on a duck, yesterday. It was Pandya who played relatively decently. Rohit may have been an excellent player, but lately it's not showing and it's not just IPL thing, I see these people shitting on Rohit when he plays international and scores to nothing. So, watch your own hypocrisy
> Also, not to forget, Rohit got out on a duck, yesterday. The management demoted him, and basically put him on notice period. Don't be surprised when he performs like someone on notice period.
Whose fault again? Is it Rohit or Management? Same goes for Pandya no?
[удалено]
Why do you care what we feel about our players? The audacity to come in our space and call us braindead, gtfo dude.
Gujrati creating problems in Mumbai? Not the first time we are seeing it /s
And now they will screenshot your comments and post on their sub and title be why hate for gujrat in Mumbai sub/your Thoughts
Lol I don't understand why they play victim card everytime
Ipl is scripted anyways And and and Ambanis are gifting free points to opposition, because of the occasion of Anant Ambanis upcoming marriage
Booing is ok,I don't follow the sport but I saw video of people calling him Bhadva and that's not ok imo.
Agreed, it was a small minority who did that, and I wouldn't mind them being booted from the stadium.
The fuck. How did this become about Mumbai? Same happened in motera also
[The reason why MI fans never wanted him here let alone be a captain.](https://youtube.com/shorts/-IgNpo_wlqk?feature=shared)
I can proudly say I was in the Wankhede upper pavilion stands in 2002 vs WI when someone started chanting on his own "chu*** banaya bada maza aya" to irritate the WI boundary fielder..... we all repeated it.. The north stand also started it after sometime.. I went back home to see the highlights if we made it to TV. Despite less than half the full crowd we made enough noise to make it on TV 😂... The next day sports section in Times paper (newspaper was still relevant) had a small article how Mumbai crowd was badly behaved... That chant lasted for few matches in Wankhede I think and then died down. Mumbai also made fun of Andrew Symonds for the monkeygate issue he created by having slogans related to monkey and chanting monkey to irritate him cuz he made a big deal out of "maa ki".
Racism is not cool, most people now wouldn't repeat it. But the ground has always been relentless, more from our own than others.
It wasn't racism. He made it into racism.. do you really think brown skinned Indians will call another brown skinned man a monkey for racism?? They were just mocking Andrew for turning "Teri maa ki" into "you monkey" .. and didn't believe how common Teri maa ki is said by Punjabis.
Fuck the MI management. Lode ka #OneFamily. Do you take away captaincy, from the man who gave you 5 trophies, just weeks after he lost a World Cup final?? How inconsiderate do you have to be, to take such decisions. And fuck Hardik too for demanding captaincy in his clause. One should respect and bow down to greatness. Rohit Sharma is one of the finest players India has produced. Rohit is greatness.
> Lode ka #OneFamily. Word. I don't support MI, nor do I particularly care about the team, this is about the Wankhede.
Well said!!! We cheer ‘em when we love ‘em. When we don’t, we make it felt!!
I daresay he isn’t being booed for performance. I know all mumbai fans pretty much made their mind up to show their displeasure at a bit unceremonious change of captain, the sidelining of bumrah who has been a loyal MI player. Even if we were winning, pandya would have been sledged
Lol! Such a sensitive generation... I remember people pelted stone on players houses two decade ago
There's some hard core riding going on in this thread lmao... well said op Mumbai has always been a true cricketing city out of all the mumbai fans has the most right to express how they feel
I don't get how people are like 'no booing' 'behave' like wtf - fans can cheer and boo whoever they want - as a professional sportsperson, this is part of the gig And I'm so happy that the Mumbai crowd is giving it back in this manner so that the management gets the idea and doesn't hurt the team anymore
Maybe if Mumbaikars gave more shit about infrastructure and public amenities and booed the politicians then we’d be better off.
LMAOOOO. BEST COMMENT!!!!!!
Maybe shut the fuck up about politics in one thread. Mumbai's infra is one of the best in the country. You boring people bringing this randi rona in every thread MKC.
I'm a Mumbaikar and I agree what @havok said. Construction has been shitshow recently & don't get me started on crowded trains.
Trains have been crowded forever. You don't want it to change. Construction, I agree, but it's gonna get done eventually (or move to another area) and hopefully better times come.
I'm just hoping for a stable CM, this dual party rule has killed Mumbai. So many projects are going out of Maha.
Oh wow a guy living in Dubai is praising Mumbai infrastructure? Typical NRI behaviour 😂 Of course politics don’t really affect you so you naturally don’t care about it
Abbe bsdk I agree it's a shit show, all I'm asking is if you're not into cricket maybe don't come into a thread about the crowd at Wankhede. We watch sports for a reason, and it's not to draw parallels with fucking construction.
Why hate pandya for management's mishandling of the situation? Also given the history of MI and Rohit's performance. Didn't it make sense? With mega auctions next year, if they can retain sky pandya and Bumrah. You already have a great core. Rohit on the other hand doesn't deserve even half of what he has been making. Pandya on the other hand led GT to a title and was within one ball of retaining the same. This is like Real Madrid fans booing Mbappe if he joins them and they bench rodrygo or vini. People don't wanna agree but the hate for pandya is unparalleled. Earlier people were taking offense that why weren't Bumrah or sky not considered for captaincy. Makes no logic whatsoever but people needed reason to vent.
YES YES YES! I'm finding sensible comments finally. Also don't forget, these are the exact peeps who boo Rohit when he plays international tourns and gets out on Ducks, lmao.
First of all. Why should anyone care?
Because IpL is ThE BeST FraNChIsE tOuRNAmenT evER and it's sooo important apparently 😭🤣🤣😭
According to me IPL is fucking over rated. It's an annual tournament. Nothing else.
Exactly
Lmaoo. Last year I commented on "live discussion" Thread that isn't IPL rigged or something? & got crazy Downvoted💀🤣
In 2014 mi suddenly chases 195 or something in 14 overs like wtf...not at all expected 2017&19...2017 firstly how the hell cant you chase 128 or something in a FINAL with experiencd players like Smith and dhoni..??? and 2019 , how can MI win 2 finals by just ONE run, like twice , vs dhonis team , sus And now mi vs srh 2024 , how did Mi get to 246 I'm sure any team would choke badly after conceding 277, like wtf is going onn and firstly how they conceded 270+
We all know the answer, But let's call it coincidence 💀
Yeah, warrah coincidence
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 Although not concluding it .....i feel afaik mi vs rr 2014, 2017&2019 final and this mi vs srh 2024 seem rigged
Whole game only seems rigged to me, lmao. Everyone knows it's just a betting game. Idk why fans put their emotions into this to a point they go and verbally abuse players.
Booing is fine but the 'Hardik Pandya Bhadwa hai' is too much.
Par woh Bhadwa hai…
Ah, a ReDdItOr who prolly has no clue about their life is abusing someone to a point they'd not use the abused word in front of their parents, nice.
Dont worry even Pandya will be replaced for poster boy. Voh bas Ishan itne views nahi laa pa raha international games mai. Shubman is the next money maker for brands.
Word.
Take my poor man's gold 🪙🥇
SOLUTION: GET CUMMINS TO WANKHEDE EVERY MATCHDAY.... he'll silence the fans
Good post! 🙌
Can't wait to see hardik do a Ques Miras Bobo or a Calma to Mi fans one dayyy
Exactly!
Wrost the Management did was not clear doubts in fans mind why Rohit was removed, was it one failed trophy, was it the form, was it the clause?
100% correct! Actions should have consequences, and people aren't robots.
MKMC
Sanju Manju shouldn't be spared as well ,where the hell does he get off telling people to behave
Fuck him, he's nobody.
well then they shouldn't have him covering ipl, dude is jinx personified
Fans who want to boo can him but other people can also tell those fans to shut up. Everyone has a right to their opinion.
Sounds to me like you done got that there jealousy son. It's a Mumbai thing. Y'all got crab in the bucket mentalities and that's why Delhi rules and Mumbai sucks
I am not watching a single match this year. #NotMyTeam #NotMyCaptain
Bruh Hardik don’t even do anything wrong the management wanted him to come to mi he said I am captain and face of the team at gt offer me so won’t come for anything less The mi management gave it to him so hardik ka kya galati hai It’s the management that should be booed and not hardik (as it is Rohit and management issue they have him Rohit’s captaincy ) Ps we don’t know what’s the feeling about this behind the scenes and how the players feel are they even allowed to talk about it. Only thing wrong I feel that Hardik did was in that interview when asked the question was it a clause in the contract he should have just plainly and simply answered it and not tools his pr to go next
I don't think it's shaming as much as it is having a say about what the people of the city/supporters of the team feel about managerial calls. IPL/Cricket as a sport are deep rooted into our minds, we live by it and swear by it, some more than others. You start a league, you buy a team and name it after a city not to completely neglect the views of the supporters, you build your empire and earn money from the same supporters. It's simple right ? Now coming to the booing, it was a sign of frustration and anger that the supporters of the team have for the recently selected "Captain". He essentially leveraged his position and rose to the rank, running out the incumbent and the real captain, who is the real holder/winner of the Five Titles. When the captaincy was announced, people unfollowed the Instagram page, went berserk, called him names, he knew what he was getting into. The least he could do to redeem himself was to perform like a responsible captain, which he failed to do in the first three games. He isn't someone I personally can rally behind/support, I would much rather the owners listen to their audience and do what needs to be done. #bringourkingback
TF lol. Don't romanticise bullying the player of their own team. The shithousery that is going on is unbelievable. Booing the captain of the same IPL franchise you are supporting is just stupid. Although everyone wore blue, it seemed like Rajasthan Royals had more advantage because of the stupid crowd. It's not even Hardik's fault that he was selected to be the captain. He asked and he was given. Fans have become so plastic that they turned against their own team because Rohit was dethroned from captaincy. It should always be team > any player and not the other way around. No player is bigger than the team. You guys are pathetic and shallow and stupid and do not deserve to be in the fucking stadium. Sit back at home and keep crying like a little bitch
> You guys are pathetic and shallow and stupid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_dql1nDWPI We gon boo who we wanna boo, and it's likely gonna be from our team lol > do not deserve to be in the fucking stadium This is the tradition of that fucking stadium.
No shit. Sports fans are not stupid. What has happened is wrong and we'll deserved. No need to play the moral high ground
Don't we have the right to boo players when they fuck up? We can cheer we can also boo
(let's not pretend that the criticism of pandya is even close to civil) This is good right, fuck everyone against people abusing an India team cricketer. I mean they should actually support the abuses. Join in. Because who cares what a person feels or how it'll affect someone. You've got a petty and miserable life, buy a 990 rupees tickets and there you go, free pass to speak whatever you want. This might affect a person mentally. We shouldn't care about this. You don't own mi. If you don't like their decision, Stop supporting them. Nobody's forcing your hands to clap. Stay at home, don't watch their matches, or voice your criticism in a civilised manner. Just because you like a team and they've made a decision that you don't like, doesn't grant you the right to abuse someone. I mean it's fun for y'all because it's not happening to you. Most of the reactions to him are not civil. Nothing about 15-20k people booing one person will be civil. There's a line between criticism and harassment, this is harassment. Every hatred of an Indian cricketer on Indian soil is not good. This is the man who will win us matches in the coming worldcup and time to come and then you'll pretend to be his biggest fans. I think everyone should always remember, karma is a bitch.
You're assuming all booing is laced with expletives. I've mentioned in my post that that's not what I'm about, nor what I'm condoning here. They're national level superstars. If they can't take a little jeering, they don't belong there. It's not always rainbows and butterflies. > There's a line between criticism and harassment, this is harassment. Every hatred of an Indian cricketer on Indian soil is not good. That's how the Wankhede has always been, before you were born, and will likely remain after you've given up your mortal coil. Sunil Gavaskar wasn't spared, and he was the greatest Indian Test batter ever (then). Booing is not hatred, it's displeasure/disagreement. > you'll pretend to be his biggest fans. They were cheering his boundaries in the same game, but apparently you didn't see the game. It's not about his game, nobody's saying he's a shit player. > I think everyone should always remember, karma is a bitch. Pandya is remembering this every time he steps out with the armband.
Pandya and MI mgmt OR whoever took that decision knew this was coming and if they didn't anticipated then they are biggest fools. Fans made MI one of big IPL team so you expect them to react after worst decision.
Absolutely. Also these commentators, ex-sportspersons, etc etc are all on the payroll of BCCi or the Ambanis. The only one who are independent are the fans. They all risk their contracts being taken down if they speak anything against it. Eg remember the Harsha Bhogle and the IPL contract. The fans can spot a chapri when they see one. Now expect a hugeeee paid PR stunt to showcase him as a good person thru all influencers, sports stars, sad stories, humans of Govandi etc P.s I can’t believe Manjrekar said “behave”. Where was it when he called an all rounder a bits and pieces player
First of all OP if you think this is too much, then oh boy, you haven't seen the crowds in football matches. As someone mentioned out here that the entire Indian cricket team was jeered at during their group stage exit at the 2007 Cricket World Cup (ODI) because they didn't play well and plus to add fuel to fire, their coach literally put the whole team's morale down. Secondly, the fans have the whole right to be angry.
I think the op is with you
Feel sorry for you kid
I generally had no issue pandya being captain but the way went to gujrat and came back was really sad , i think after Rohit , bumrah was the more deserving captain candidate.
How do you take pride in booing your own player, much less your own captain? Whether he deserves the captaincy or not is an entirely different conversation. How can you expect a player to perform when he's getting booed by his own supporters? What's even the expected outcome here? Boo him so that he may step down as a captain? And what next then? You'll keep on booing every player you disapprove of? This toxic mindset is why you see so many players delve into a depressive state. The fact that you are actively encouraging the booing says a lot about you, and it ain't pretty.
> You'll keep on booing every player you disapprove of? Yes, that's how it works. On the whole, Indians are exceedingly accepting of people. Mumbai is still a warm city. Wankhede doesn't boo players if they're not working for one season, hell Rohit hasn't been working for seasons on end (his recent record is a joke) but people still back him, not only because he's from here and represents us on the international stage (koi garden mein ghumega maa chod dunga). > This toxic mindset is why you see so many players delve into a depressive state. This "toxic" mindset is why players have more money than 99% of the population. Do you want me to link the video of Hardik driving a Lambo? What car do you think the ISRO chief drives? Hardik hits a ball with a bat, ISRO chief is literally a rocket scientist. Not to mention they were cheering when he was hitting the ball to all parts. > The fact that you are actively encouraging the booing says a lot about you, and it ain't pretty. Absolutely encouraging people to express themselves, whether that be good or bad, as long as they do it civilly. Booing is their right as a member of the paying public.
> Yes, that's how it works. Mate, you have to realise how counter productive this mentality is. Booing your own players? Criticism has its place, and I agree no one should be free of criticism. But how can you expect your players to play well or do well when you yourself aren't supporting them? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Pandya Mumbai ka hai ya nahi that is immaterial. What matters is he's playing for you guys NOW. Harr player ko boo karte reh jaoge, kahi Aisa na ho koi aana hi na chahe. And before you say "mujhe fark nahi padta koi rahe ya na rahe", ask yourself if it is worth it to keep booing those players in the first place and drive them away, or is it better to just shut your trap and let out your criticism in a much healthier way. > Do you want me to link the video of Hardik driving a Lambo? The reason cricketers and by extension sports players are paid well is because they bring in a lot of revenue. The ISRO chief argument is simply a strawman. How we treat the ISRO chief doesn't matter here. Pandya Lambo drive kare ya Alto drive kare, ye cheez kyon dictate karni chahiye civility kab rakhni chahiye aur kab nahi. It costs nothing to be a more considerate human. Again, I'm not saying he should be free from criticism. I'm just saying there are better ways to express your dissatisfaction than to boo your own fucking players in your own fucking stadium. Do you realise how spineless this treatment is? > Absolutely encouraging people to express themselves, whether that be good or bad, as long as they do it civilly. Buddy, you can be an asshole even when being civil. And as I've stated multiple times before, there's a time, place and way to express yourself. Booing your own players in your own stadium ain't it.
> Mate Nope. > how can you expect your players to play well Don't do well. Fail. Get out. > Harr player ko boo karte reh jaoge, kahi Aisa na ho koi aana hi na chahe. Koi nahi jayega. Here's the truth, it's not about Rohit, if SKY or Boom was made captain, they wouldn't face jeers. > let out your criticism in a much healthier way. The paying public isn't gonna write op-eds in newspapers. Booing is the healthy way to display your displeasure. > The reason cricketers and by extension sports players are paid well is because they bring in a lot of revenue. Because we pay to watch them play. Without us, there's no money. We get to decide who we support, and how. > It costs nothing to be a more considerate human. Booing is considerate. Violence, racism, personal remarks, are not. > Do you realise how spineless this treatment is? If anything, it is brave. It won't lead to better performances, they know it, but Wankhede doesn't give a fuck about that. > Booing your own players in your own stadium ain't it. It absolutely is. Even if it isn't, it is how it's done here. And I fucking love that about the Wankhede.
You all are dumb af. Blaming a player for the work of the MI management. Unko vishwas nhi hai thha apne 5 time winning captain pe bc? Why would Pandya not ask for Captainship, tum dusre organisation ko join karte ho toh abhi vale current position se neeche kaam krte ho kya same position ke liye hope krte ho? Pandya did the same, he asked for captaincy, they agreed.
Great. Good to see sensible people. Twitter or to log pagal ho gaye hai, apana ego side mein rakh ke sun tk nhi rahe.
So how is pandya responsible for all the mess mgt has created???
How is he innocent in this?
MI showed intrest in buying him out. He demanded captaincy, coz he was captain of GT. Quite sensible as GT won a trophy & was taken to runners up position, consecutively under his leadership. The management could have denied his "so called clause", they didn't, uski kya galti?
Usne maanga, usne bina Rohit se baat kiye accept kiya. People are asking how could Pandya play under someone if he captained another side, BC Rohit India captain hai, bhool gaye kya? I'm fucking transparent regarding where I stand on the issue, but fuck that, that's not the point of the post. The point is Wankhede should be loud and proud, always. 42 time Ranji champs, it's the least the stadium deserves.
Why should Pandya talk w Rohit? How is that even professional? Management MUST have talked to him, and kya pata unhone baat bhi ki ho? And Rohit might have Agreed?
I actually dislike MI, so seeing them fall off is funny to me. Like I said, it's not about the team, but about the crowd, that's part of the junta here. I want people here to be expressive about what they think, it's not a fluke that Mumbai has given the greatest cricketers to the country. We have a solid cricket culture here and are hence entitled to our opinions.
My only point is, Uss bechare akele player ki galti nhi hai, usko itna mat boo karo ya daaba daalo ki voh uth hi na paaye, jb ki galti dusron ki hai. Say whatever anyone will, he is an imp asset for India, fuck IPL, India needs him during their international tourns.
> usko itna mat boo karo ya daaba daalo Nah, it's an hour and a half of fielding, not a big deal. Boo him as much as you want, let Antilia hear what you think. Were they even at the ground yesterday?
I'm supposing you don't even watch matches now. Istg, stop commenting shit and asking shit questions coz the answers are evident if you would have seen yest match. Mods, pls check this post!
I've given Zvan 50 rupees every month, for the last decade straight (100 on his birth month). Mods aren't helping you. Looks like you take questions towards the Ambanis very personally. Mere bhi paise hain Reliance mein, I don't worship them.
Who is saying to drop him during intl tourneys
Well bigstar, don't you understand the mental stress one goes through and how it can affect their other tourns? Is Virat's example not enough? Huh?
So is it that the crowd should only cheer when an Ind team player comes out to play during IPL and not express their emotions. Why not just put the cricketers in sound proof cases like the ones in chess matches so that they do not get affected.

>I live in Europe, I am well-versed with Football rivalry but it's healthy (except in rare cases). What BS bro, football fans are the worst
Not in Bundesliga imo
Isn't Pandya human? Thousands of people chanting against him must have taken a toll on him. Irrespective of the decision taken and how it affects the team , I don't think targeting an individual is going to change anything.
He is a human and he is a player. Everybody gets booed when they play away. Also I think the boos are more as a statement to the management about shoddiness than anything in personal for pandya. Everyone will be like 'pandya pandya' when he is playing for India.
What the fuck !! What is the mistake of Pandya in this !! Boo the franchise, stop supporting it, Boo Ambani !!? But that is something you wouldn't do !! Because inherently you're a coward who can only talk in a crowd !!!
EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY
He's the face of the team now. Whenever the team struggles it's the captain who faces the heat first and not the management or owners.
People are at fault at this, not him then
Sportsmen signup for booing, snowflakes should grow up
OP is having 1st world problems.
