WI vs IND 2023: ‘Chapri’ and ‘Selfish’ trends as Hardik Pandya hits six to leave Tilak Varma out for 49 in 3rd T20I
The world of cricket is no stranger to heated debates and passionate debates between fans, and once again, India’s T20I captain Hardik Pandya has found himself at the center of a storm on social media. After India’s resounding victory over the West Indies in the third T20I of a five-match series, Pandya’s decision to seal victory with a six has ignited a firestorm as fans claimed that the Indian skipper denied youngster Tilak Varma a half-century that he it was worth it.
The dramatic ending:
As the third T20I between the West Indies reached its climax, an important win was on the horizon for the Indian team. With young batting prodigy Tilak Varma batting with an impressive 49, Pandya hit a powerful six to secure India’s victory with seven wickets to spare. However, this moment of triumph quickly turned into a point of controversy as fans took to social media platforms to express their displeasure.
Fans Up in Arms:
Passionate cricket fans, known for their unwavering support and equally intense scrutiny, did not hold back in expressing their feelings. Fans argued that Pandya’s choice to end the match with a six potentially “deprived” Varma of a well-earned half-century, raising concerns about the impact of such decisions on the young cricketer’s morale and achievements.
Highlight of Tilak Varma:
Varma’s emergence as a young batting sensation was the highlight of the series against the West Indies. His consistent performances in all three matches have garnered attention and praise from cricket fans and pundits alike. The left-hander’s pivotal role in the 87-run partnership that turned the tide of the match in India’s favor highlights his potential to become a cornerstone of the Indian batting line-up.

Questioning Pandya’s captaincy:
This is not the first time that Pandya’s leadership decisions have come under scrutiny. In the previous match, India’s loss in the second T20I led fans to question Pandya’s choice not to use Yuzvendra Chahal’s full limit of overs. The combination of these incidents has fueled debates about Pandya’s decision-making as captain and sparked discussions about the team’s strategy under his leadership.
Here are some of the reactions from Indian cricket fans:

I have never seen an OWN player like Hardik Pandya, Tilak was hitting on his 49 in the third game and Hardik ended the match with a six so he must be the LEADER?

#HardikPandya the most selfish cricketer who feels insecure about new guys #TilakVerma .There is no X factor about his captaincy, it’s like hating players who belong to a different franchise.
