Hardik Pandya has been at the receiving end after he scored 3 runs off 19 balls last night at Wankhede Stadium while playing the match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the IPL 2018. Thus, the team lost the low-scoring game by 31 runs. Despite his performance, he received the Nayi Soch Award from Star Plus.

The fans were already upset as the all-rounder didn’t live up to the expectations and the award added fuel to the fire. They posted nasty tweets not only about his poor performance but also took a jibe at the awards. Here are a few tweets that took a jibe at all-rounder’s performance.
