The viral video caught the cricketer telling his girlfriend to go home and call him. Sharma was there with his son, Agastya Pandya. Apart from Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, none of the batsmen could reach double figures, and the Mumbai Indians’ skipper also had a bad game after he bowled just two overs while giving away 38 runs. After this loss, fans slammed him for ‘not focusing’ on his game.

One user wrote, “She is FINE! They are FINE! He can wait till he is away from the cameras before this “I am so caring, such a green flag” drama! Focus on your game, damn! Ruined a great franchise but still focused on aura farming!” while another commented, “I think Hardik doesn’t come to win the Trophy, he came and ruined the party.”
