T20 World Cup 2024 KL Rahul Hardik Pandya: Remember the T20 World Cup of 2022. At that time, the captain of the Indian team was Rohit Sharma and the vice-captain of the team was KL Rahul. But there has been so much change in these two years that not only has KL Rahul lost his vice-captaincy, he has also not been included in Team India’s squad this time. It is believed that Rahul’s slow batting has come in his way. Meanwhile, questions have also started being raised that when KL Rahul is not in the team then what is Hardik Pandya doing. They are also batting very well. His team is also performing much worse.
Hardik Pandya’s performance
Currently IPL is going on, so let’s look at these figures. First of all, let’s talk about the player who has not only entered Team India but has also become the vice-captain. You must have understood, we are talking about Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya has played 9 matches for his team Mumbai Indians in IPL this year. In this, only 197 runs are recorded in his name. His average is 24.63 and strike rate is 151.53. Hardik Pandya has not scored even a single half-century in these 9 matches. His highest score is 46 runs.
KL Rahul’s performance
Now let us look at the statistics of KL Rahul. KL Rahul has so far played 9 matches in IPL and scored 378 runs for his team LSG. His average is 42.00 and he is batting at a strike rate of 144.27. He has three half-centuries to his name so far. That means, except for the strike rate, KL Rahul is ahead of Hardik in every aspect, but even after this, Rahul has been dropped from the team and Hardik has been given a chance. No one is able to understand this.
How are the captaincy statistics?
Now just look at the captaincy, because both these players are also the captains of their respective teams in the IPL. LSG team has played 9 matches so far. Out of these, they have won 5 and have faced defeat in 4. His team is at number 5 in the points table with 10 points and is in the race for the playoffs. Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya, have played 9 matches and won only three and lost 6. The team is currently at ninth position in the points table with 6 points. Although Mumbai can also reach the playoffs, but the path ahead is not easy for them. Whatever the BCCI selection committee has done, no one is able to understand it.
