Mumbai Indians, the five times IPL champions are going through a bad phase in the ongoing IPL 2024 as this time, they are finding it difficult to make it to the play-offs. Yesterday, MI lost their seventh match of the tournament which they played against Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Sports City, Lucknow and they are currently at the ninth position in the points table with just 3 wins.
LSG made MI bat first after winning the toss and Hardik Pandya-led team could manage only 144/7 in 20 overs. The target was successfully chased by LSG in 19.2 overs with 4 wickets in hand.
The former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan was not happy with the manner in which Hardik Pandya has led the team in this season and he reminded that MI made it to the play-offs under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy even when they didn’t have Bumrah but this time, they have Bumrah and still they are playing so bad.
Irfan Pathan tweeted, “The team Mumbai Indians that qualified last year didn’t had Jasprit Bumrah but this season they had his services. Still they are in this situation. Purely because the team wasn’t managed well on the ground. Too many mistakes by their captain Hardik Pandya. It’s the truth.”
