Hardik Pandya is a dangerous player- not only to his opponents but also to the others around him on the field.
Hardik Pandya injured Ishan Kishan with a rocket throw from the deep in the previous match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Of course it was an accident but Kishan had to leave the field after the injury.
In the match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), Hardik Pandya also came close to injuring someone else- this time with his bat.
Hardik Pandya almost took off the head off Umpire Rod Tucker during the match.
On the first ball Hardik faced in the 19th over bowled by Jofra Archer, he hit straight down the middle. Tucker had to duck to avoid the ball that was flying straight to him- Tucker fell to the ground as the ball shot towards the boundary.
Umpire Tucker’s reflexes certainly saved him from an injury.
Credit to Tucker, who was up and about soon to signal the boundary with a smile.
Here's how it happened:
