New Delhi. The start of Mumbai Indians in the new season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has not been as per their wish so far. This team has faced defeat in three consecutive matches. On April 1, this team had to face defeat from Rajasthan Royals. The team’s batting seems to be badly affected. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the team has lost all three out of three matches so far. After Mumbai’s third consecutive defeat, former cricketer Irfan Pathan has said that Hardik is not able to earn respect from the team.
Irfan Pathan wrote on X account, “You always want your captain to do difficult things. If he cannot do this then he will not be able to earn the respect of the team. Bringing your best bowler early is not rocket science. “Finally, Jasprit Bumrah started the innings with the new ball.”
If you count the feathers of a flying bird, then 8 runs… Where did Prithvi Shaw play such a match? Then he said – I will not take the ball out of the drain…
This season of the Indian Premier League has not been good for the Mumbai Indians team so far. Everyone’s eyes are on the team playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The Mumbai management added this player, who won the trophy to Gujarat Titans, with the team and gave him the responsibility of captaincy. He was given this responsibility in place of a champion captain like Rohit Sharma. In the first three matches, Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and then Rajasthan Royals defeated the team.
Hardik Pandya said after the match: After the match against Rajasthan Royals, he said that we did not start the way we wanted. Tonight was difficult. When asked about his innings, Pandya said, ‘I think at one time 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 have done better.
