'Hardik Pandya did not look 100%', Adam Gilchrist raised questions on the fitness of Mumbai Indians

Former great Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist has raised questions on the fitness of Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya bowled the last over of CSK's innings on Sunday, costing 26 runs. MS Dhoni hit three sixes on his three consecutive balls.

Hardik Pandya is being heavily criticized. India's great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has described Hardik Pandya's captaincy and bowling as very ordinary. Gilchrist, using Australian sporting terminology, called Pandya "proppy", which means Hardik Pandya is not fully fit.

The former Australian wicketkeeper told Cricbuzz that Hardik Pandya's bowling looked scattered, and lacked edge and consistency is expected at the best level. Despite his dedication, it showed that he was not 100 per cent physically fit. In this way, Gili raised questions on the fitness of Hardik Pandya.

What did Gilly say about Pandya, "The only positive thing about Hardik Pandya and his bowling is that he likes to take up challenges. I'm the captain, I'll do something big, but then he looks proppy, we use that word in Australian sporting parlance. You are not comfortable. He did not look 100 per cent fit with the ball and if there is any doubt about his physicality his bowling will fall apart."
