Hardik Pandya received significant backlash for some of his decisions during the match. Many criticized his choice not to give Jasprit Bumrah the new ball and questioned his decision to bat at the No. 7 position.
Despite leading the Gujarat Titans to two consecutive IPL finals, Hardik has struggled to win over the hearts of Mumbai Indians fans. This sentiment was evident as he faced boos and jeers from the crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the match.
