Indian cricket team’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya left the captaincy of Gujarat Titans and returned home to Mumbai Indians. After this, there was a lot of stir on social media. Someone cornered Hardik for running after money. Someone expressed happiness over his return to his old team.
Now, such a rule has come to light, due to which Hardik Pandya can get badly trapped. Not only is he getting trapped, but he may also be banned from IPL for one year. Fans have raised these questions till now. But now the former franchise director KKR has also raised his voice.
Ravindra Jadeja Was Banned 13 Years Ago
Former Kolkata Knight Riders director Joy Bhattacharya stated this on a YouTube channel. He considered Hardik Pandya’s move wrong per the rules and raised this controversy in IPL. Ravindra Jadeja was banned for an entire season 13 years ago.
In 2010, he was a part of the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals. He had started talks with Mumbai Indians during the trading process. But Rajasthan had retained him by extending his contract. At the same time, Jadeja had expressed his desire to move forward. After this, the then-management committee of IPL took action against Jadeja and banned him for one year.

Why Can Pandya Get Trapped?
The same thing has happened now in the case of Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya’s name was on the retention list of Gujarat Titans, but within a few hours, he joined Mumbai Indians. Joy said, ‘I don’t think this is an excellent idea for the tournament. Something similar happened in 2010, and Ravindra Jadeja was banned. If you continue this trend, it will not be good for the future. You stopped it in 2010, and now you have encouraged it. So I don’t think it is a good idea for any big player to start this trend.’
