Hardic Pandia was shooting on Wednesday after the fans accused the Indian leader in Mumbai (MI) of canceling a minute’s silence in honor of the victims of the attack in Kashmir.
The moment occurred before the IPL 2025 between the Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv GandHi International Stadium.
Both teams stopped monitoring a minute of silence after the death of 26 tourists in Bahajam, Kashmir, in a Tuesday’s attack.
The Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI) issued directives to honor the victims before all the prescribed matches.
However, the footage and social media claimed that Pandia was seen moving, laughing and speaking during the tribute, which prompted widespread criticism.
Many users moved to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the position of Bandia, as many detonated him because of his non -malignant behavior during the silence of the minute.
A stunning player, but the human being is abundant

Despite the reverse reaction, Pandia earlier took the attack, expressing his sympathy before throwing.
He said: “I would like to convey the message and condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in the terrorist attack. Our team owes these actions strongly.”
As of now, neither Mi nor BCCI has issued a statement in response to online criticism surrounding the behavior of Pandia while taking into account the match.
The Indians went in Mumbai to overcome Sunrisers Hyderabad with 7 share.
