Hardik Pandya deletes his Instagram handle
No posts are visible when searching for Hardik Pandya's username. While the profile now displays the message, "This profile is private." The development comes just after the Mumbai-based side finished ninth in the IPL 2026 standings.
Hardik faced heavy criticism throughout MI's disappointing IPL 2026 campaign, struggling to create an impact both as captain and as an all-rounder. MI managed to claim only two wins under his leadership, while their other two victories came under stand-in captains Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah when Hardik missed games because of back spasms.
Hardik Pandya's horrible IPL 2026 season
The MI skipper failed to perform as a player as well, as he managed to score only 206 runs at an average of 22.89 with a disappointing strike rate of 138.26. His highest score was only 40 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
With the ball, he could not do anything brilliant, clinching only four wickets at a high economy rate of 11.43 with a bowling average of 64.75.
