IPL 2018: 5 Big-ticket signings who failed in this week

#2 Hardik Pandya

Hardij — Hardik Pandya has really struggled with the bat in this IPL

Hardik Pandya has been a big disappointment in this IPL. Despite having decent outings with the ball, he has been in poor with the bat. He’s scored just 61 runs in six innings at a strike-rate of 107.01.

In this week he was quite poor with the bat. After scoring just four against Rajasthan Royals, he really struggled to get going in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

He scored a 19-ball three in Mumbai’s chase of 119. He just couldn’t connect with his slogs neither could he turn the strike over.

In the game against Chennai Super Kings, he was expensive with the ball (1/39 in four overs) but he fared better with the bat as he struck an unbeaten 13 and gave skipper Rohit Sharma good company.

Hardik Pandya has been a big miss in this IPL and MI will be hoping he can turn things around in the coming weeks.
