Mumbai : In the 2024 IPL series, the Mumbai Indians have participated in the ARI matches and have lost four of them. These defeats on the one hand put pressure, on the other hand the team’s internal affairs have turned into chaos. CSK has become the main reason for that.
Even before the 2024 IPL series, problems have started in the Mumbai Indians team. The team management removed the captain Rohit Sharma, who had won five IPL trophies for the team, and brought in the captain of the Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya, as the captain. This decision not only left Rohit Sharma but also the key players of the team like Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav unhappy.
At this stage, the team that met the IPL series lost the first three matches. New captain Hardik Pandya has been criticized from all quarters as the reason for these defeats. Also, most Mumbai Indians fans are anti-Hardik Pandya.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians won the next two matches. With two wins from five matches, skipper Hardik Pandya was brimming with confidence. After this, an image was being built that all the problems in the team ended with the victories. However, Rohit Sharma and Bumrah have performed well individually but have not made any involvement as senior players in team activities.
In this situation, the team clashed with the Chennai Super Kings for the sixth time. The match was a very important clash as these two teams are five-time winners of the IPL trophy. Batting first in this match, CSK added 9 runs per over.
Fearing that CSK’s Shivam Dube would hit more sixes in the overs of the spinners, Hardik Pandya bowled to Mohammed Nabi and Shreyas Gopal without using them. Although Hardik Pandya is not a fast bowler who can make a huge impact, he bowled himself thinking that he would change the match.
Also, in the last over, another fast bowler, Akash Madawal, bowled himself without using the wicket. It turned out to be a very wrong decision. Dhoni scored a hat-trick six in that over. CSK scored 26 runs in that one over. CSK scored 206 runs in 20 overs. The Mumbai team lost by exactly 20 runs after suffering a setback due to Hardik Pandya’s mistake. With that, Mumbai team lost because Hardik Pandya bowled himself without trusting his team bowlers.
After this, it is said that the divisions within the team have widened. Also, Mumbai Indians have suffered four defeats in six matches and are down to eighth place in the points table. Before the match with CSK team, it was said that there were no problems in the Mumbai Indians team, because of the victory of the CSK team, the rebellion has started again in the Mumbai Indians team. Hardik Pandya is under a lot of pressure.
