Hardik Pandya Krunal Pandya IPL 2019 DC v MI

IPL 2019: No doubt the Pandya brothers put up a show in the last five overs to help Mumbai post a formidable 168/5 in 20 overs. Krunal remained unbeaten on 37* off 26 balls, whereas Hardik scored 32 off merely 15 balls, but Twitter is still upset. They are upset because Pollard did not get to face a ball. Pollard smashed a 31-ball 83* earlier in the tournament showing how brutal he can be on his day. Fans feel Pollard should get to face most balls as he can change the complexion of the game in quick time.

Here is how fans reacted:

@ImRo45 hello rohit please dont allow to bat krunal on death overs, in the place of krunal please get on to bat pollard and hardik to bat in after 15overs. Please dnt send krunal. If he bats our team batting runrate is going down from the past 3-4 Matches i am observing that.

@mipaltan Krunal Pandya should come after Hardik & Pollard. He has less ability of striking the ball.

Make Hardik and Pollard in top Ur wasting Pollard by sending krunal ahead😐

@mipaltan Why is Pollard being played if u r not using him at all. He needs to bat at 5 anyhow from the next game. If he gets out, krunal and hardik are there but u r just wasting his menacing form on the bench from the last 2 days. Use ur brain..Mumbai.. @KieronPollard55

@mipaltan Not sending Pollard and Hardik up the order is costing you runs on the board. Krunal cannot match their power and skills. Sorry guys wrong pecking order in batting #IPL2019 #MIvsDC

Meanwhile, having bowled a disciplined line and length through the innings, the DC bowlers lost the plot in the last five overs as the MI batsmen amassed 64 runs.

While Krunal played the anchor’s role in the 54-run partnership, Hardik once again showed why he is such a dangerous batsman in the death overs as he used the long handle to excellent effect to dig out the low full tosses and attempted yorkers, sending them over the ropes till Kagiso Rabada dismissed him off the third ball of the 20th over.
