Gautam Gambhir, Former Indian batter and Kolkata Knight Riders mentor in a recent conversation stated and lashed out at Kevin Pietersen and AB de Villiers for their brutal comments on Hardik Pandya and his ability to play and even raised questions on his leadership qualities. 

Ahead of the IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya was appointed as the captain for Mumbai Indians after a successful stint with Gujarat Titans in the last two years. 

This decision to appoint him as the captain over Rohit Sharma did not go down well with fans as he was booed at the initial few matches of the IPL by the fans all around the stadium.

On the other hand, Kevin Pietersen also criticized and bashed Pandya for his performance and his captaincy for MI. He also stated that Pandya is trying to smile too much and faking a lot to present himself as a happy person.
