The Mumbai Indians, a team that has won the Indian Premier League (IPL) five times, faced a tough blow recently. After the Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated the Lucknow Super Giants, the Mumbai Indians became the first team to be knocked out of the race for the playoffs. Some senior players, like Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, are worried about Hardik Pandya’s leadership style. They believe it has affected the team’s morale during this IPL season.
Rohit Sharma has been leading the Mumbai Indians for the past ten years. Whenever there’s a change in leadership, it can cause some unrest among the players.
An official from the Mumbai Indians explained that their struggles this season are because they are going through a transition phase. He said it’s normal for teams to face challenges when there’s a change in leadership.
After losing to the Delhi Capitals, Hardik Pandya said he thought Tilak Varma should have targeted Axar Patel more. He blamed the loss on the team’s game awareness. This upset the team because Varma had played well, scoring 63 runs off 32 balls in that match. He’s also been the team’s top scorer this season.
Currently, the Mumbai Indians are in ninth place in the points table. They’ve played more games than the Gujarat Titans. With no chance of making it to the playoffs, the team needs to fix any issues before the next season. This will give them the best chance of winning their sixth IPL trophy.
