New Delhi. The new season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has not been good for Mumbai Indians so far. They have faced defeat in three consecutive matches. On 1 April, they faced defeat against Rajasthan Royals. The team’s batting performance has been significantly affected. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the team has lost all the three matches played so far. After Mumbai’s third consecutive defeat, former cricketer Irfan Pathan has said that Hardik is not getting respect from the team.
Pathan wrote on his account, “You always want your captain to work hard. If he can’t do that, he won’t get respect from the team. Bringing your best bowler early is not rocket science. In the end, Jasprit Bumrah started with the new ball and made the difference.”
This season has not been good for the Mumbai Indians team. All eyes are on the team playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The management has included the player who won the trophy for Gujarat Titans in the Mumbai team and given him the responsibility of captaincy. He has been given this role in place of champion captain like Rohit Sharma. In the first three matches, Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and then Rajasthan Royals defeated the team.
After the match against Rajasthan Royals, Hardik Pandya said that his start was not what he wanted. Tonight was difficult. When Pandya was asked about his innings, he said, “I think at one point we were in a position to reach 150-160 runs. But my wicket changed the game and put them in a better position in the match. “I think I could do that.” Did better.”
