Ahmedabad Crowd Urged to Boo Hardik: Aakash Chopra’s Intriguing Desire

Yesterday, the BCCI revealed the schedule for the first 17 days of the Indian Premier League 2024 due to the upcoming general elections in India. Further dates will be disclosed following the announcement of the general elections scheduled by the Election Commission of India.

The IPL 2024 opener, featuring Royal Challengers Bangalore against defending champions Chennai Super Kings, kicks off the 17th edition with excitement. However, the real showdown unfolds Sunday evening as Hardik Pandya, now captain of the Mumbai Indians, faces his former team, the Gujarat Titans. Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, Hardik Pandya was transferred from the Gujarat Titans to the Mumbai Indians.

Aakash Chopra’s Wish to Ahmedabad Spectators:

In the opening match of IPL 2024, the Mumbai Indians will face off against the Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricketer, wishes for fans in Ahmedabad to jeer Hardik Pandya when he goes for the toss. He recalls a similar incident from 2008 and suggests it wouldn’t be unexpected if Hardik experiences the same reaction.

He said, “I want Hardik Pandya to get booed in Ahmedabad. I’ll tell you why. First IPL season, Mumbai vs Kolkata. We were playing at the Wankhede Stadium. Ajit Agarkar was in our team and we had to take him off the boundary because he was Mumbai’s boy, playing against Mumbai, in Mumbai and getting booed by the Wankhede crowd. So we put him back inside the circle because it was not nice.”

He added, “Now Hardik Pandya goes to Mumbai after winning the championship once, leading the team to the final the next time. And not just that but choosing to leave the franchise. If there isn’t any heartburn in the public of Ahmedabad, if they don’t feel hurt, where is the fun? I am expecting. No, I am hoping – don’t tell anyone – that Hardik goes for the toss and people go ‘Boo’. That’s where the league matures.”
