After Mumbai Indians (MI) lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2024, former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist questioned Hardik Pandya's level of fitness. MI lost for the fourth time this season as their problems continued. The captain of the team, Pandya, had an unmemorable journey. He just scored 2 runs at batting and gave up an alarming 43 runs in his 3 overs of bowling. Gilchrist expressed doubts about Pandya's physical state to Cricbuzz, pointing out that his bowling lacked direction and pace. Gilchrist remarked, "His bowling was scattered," raising doubts about Pandya's potential for peak performance. Gilchrist did, however, recognize Pandya's dedication, complimenting him for assuming bowling duties during a pivotal moment in the game.MI will need to keep a close eye on Pandya's fitness if they hope to save their season.
