Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been at the center of multiple controversies of late. Last week, an FIR was lodged against Pandya by Rehnuma Bhati, the wife of Riyaz Bhati, who is allegedly a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim. Hardik Pandya and Munaf Patel, former IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla, and Prithviraj Kothari's names were also present in that FIR, which included molestation charges.When Hardik Pandya returned to India yesterday from Dubai, reports emerged that Mumbai airport customs officers confiscated two watches worth five crores from him. It was because Hardik Pandya could not produce the invoice for them.Fans noticed all this and took to Twitter to slam him for being the center of multiple controversies. They also pointed to the dip in his performances on the cricket field and were disappointed with his tendency to get into trouble for non-cricketing actions regularly.Fans slam Hardik Pandya for his recent controversiesMaarwadi🚩🚩🚩@Marwadi99This man #HardikPandya has turned out to he the biggest joke in the history of Indian Cricket.All style and no substance.Shameless Pandya2:46 AM · Nov 16, 20213413This man #HardikPandya has turned out to he the biggest joke in the history of Indian Cricket.All style and no substance.Shameless Pandya https://t.co/n5bYPeLre9SANJOUY TANK@SANJOUYTANKIs he just playing cricket for money or pride?

I'm a law-abiding citizen of the country and I respect all government agencies.
