Tale of woe for Pandya

Hardik Pandya joined five-time champions Mumbai Indians ahead of the season, replacing veteran Rohit as captain.

The joy was short-lived, however, as the IPL heavyweights lost their opening three matches.

The star all-rounder was repeatedly booed, prompting commentator Sanjay Manjrekar to tell the crowd at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium to "behave".

Mumbai has won three of their seven matches, but Pandya's form with the bat (141 runs) and ball (four wickets) is a cause for concern.

The low point came when Chennai's MS Dhoni smashed Pandya for three consecutive sixes in a 26-run final over.
