The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has become the first qualified for the playoffs already with some incredible performances from their players and are sitting pretty at the top of the table. While all their players have found their resurgence in course of the cash-rich league, only Manish Pandey is going through tough times.

Manish has been a huge disappointment for them with the bat after the team had bagged his services for a whopping amount of ₹11 Crore in the auction. However, he is being brutally trolled on various social media platforms for his poor show.

In the ongoing 11^th edition of IPL so far, Pandey has amassed only 189 runs in 10 matches with the bat this season with only a couple of the fifties. Despite being backed by the coach and the captain, Manish has failed to repay the faith shown in him. Moreover, he has also dropped a few catches on the field as well, the latest being of MS Dhoni on Sunday against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) which could’ve changed the situation of the match. As things stand now, SRH will be worried only about him going into the playoffs.

Manish Pandey’s team, however, realizes that he is too good a player to be dropped. On Monday, after copping severe criticism for dropping a simple catch of Dhoni, Pandey took to Instagram and updated his story in which he had posted the image of him and Alex Hales who had a Tennis racket in his hand.

Pandey captioned the image symbolizing his response to all his critics who are demanding him to be dropped from the team ahead of the playoffs. His story read: “Every hater at the moment…IDGAF”. Interestingly, IDGAF means ‘I Don’t Give A F**k’. However, he soon deleted his story as well but many of the cricket fans must have seen it already.

SRH will play their next game against RCB on Thursday at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and Manish will look to resurrect his season soon.
