Hardik Pandya Has Dropped Out Of The WTC Final. Hardik stated that it would be unethical for him to take someone’s place without first earning a spot in the game’s longest format.
u201cNo. I am an ethically strong individual. I didn’t do 10% to get there. I am not even in the top 1%. So my showing up and taking someone’s place will be unethical. If I want to play Test cricket, I’ll have to put in the effort. As a result, I will not be available for the WTC final or any future test series until I feel I have earned my spot, Hardik said during the pre-match press conference.
Hardik’s comments are logical, and the management must adhere to this theory of not selecting players solely on their reputation. Fans chastised Hardik for his arrogance.
However, after the all-rounder ruled himself out, a few fans were upset with how the 29-year-old made himself unavailable for the WTC final and called him arrogant.
People on social media have opinions on everything and on this occasion, Hardik did nothing wrong to receive such hate. He spoke logically, as it should be in any sport where hard work is valued more than an individual’s reputation.
