Mumbai: After facing defeat by 24 runs while chasing the target of 170 runs in the Indian Premier League T20 match against Kolkata Knight Riders here on Friday, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya said that it will take some time to find the reasons for the defeat. It will take. Mumbai team was out for 145 runs in 18.5 overs. Only Suryakumar Yadav (56) could make a big score with the bat for the team.
Pandya said in the awards ceremony after the match, ‘Obviously we could not build partnerships and kept losing wickets. There are a lot of questions and it will take some time to find answers to all these. He praised the bowlers for restricting KKR’s innings to 169 runs.
Hardik took the plunge on some pretext
He said, ‘The bowlers performed brilliantly on this pitch. If I am not mistaken the wicket became better due to dew in the second innings. We have to see what we can do better. The all-rounder said, ‘You continue to fight in the game. This is what I tell my team players. It is challenging but you like to take challenges.
Hardik took 2 wickets in bowling
Hardik Pandya could not show anything special in bowling in the match against KKR. However, he definitely took two wickets in bowling. Hardik bowled four overs in the match. During this, he took two important wickets for 44 runs. Hardik’s performance in terms of bowling was commendable.
However, he is not able to do any miracle for Mumbai Indians under captaincy. The condition of the team is bad and now it is almost on the verge of being out of the race for the playoffs. Mumbai has played 11 matches this season in which it has won only 3.
