The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Hardik Pandya getting angry with his teammates. In the previous game he was all over David Miller and in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the all-rounder lashed out at Mohammed Shami. Hardik got angry after Shami did not attempt a catch on Rahul Tripathi’s shot towards the third man area.
The Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya has led his side brilliantly so far in IPL 2022 but his anger has also been evident in the tournament. In the last game, it was David Miller who was at the receiving end after Hardik was run out. This time around, it was Mohammed Shami who had to bear the brunt of his skipper’s anger when he did not attempt a catch.

The incident took place on the final ball of the 12th over which Hardik Pandya was bowling. Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Rahul Tripathi played an uppercut over the in-field and it almost carried to Mohammed Shami who was standing at third man. However, Shami needed to move forward if he wanted to convert it into a catch. Instead, Shami took the safe route of protecting the boundary which angered Hardik Pandya as he fumed at his teammate for not attempting the catch.
Here is the video of Hardik Pandya yelling at Mohammed Shami:
Dear Hardik, you are a terrible captain. Stop taking it out on your teammates, particularly someone as senior as Shami. #IPL #IPL2022 #GTvsSRH pic.twitter.com/9yoLpslco7

Notably, they have a healthy Net Run Rate of +0.349. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad are eighth on the points table. Earlier, they got off the mark against Chennai Super Kings with a win this season. Sunrisers are giving everything to win their second game. On the other hand, GT are looking to extend their winning run. It would be quite interesting to see which team wins the game.

Shami should have gone for that catch!
Also, Hardik is not a good leader. #IPL2022 #GTvsSRH— Bharat Bhakt (@manwithcam590) April 11, 2022

Hardik abusing Shami for not going for catch… Wish someone abused him for not swinging his bat in last 5 overs #SRH #GT #SRHvsGT
