Hardik Pandya's maiden run as MI captain ends prematurely, 5-time champs knocked out of IPL 2024

The Mumbai Indians designed the playoffs very last season underneath Rohit Sharma but have to end their bid for a history 6th title early this 12 months.

Distress for Hardik Pandya! His return to the Mumbai Indians (MI) has started on a bad note. The 5-time champions, who are the joint most-crowned franchise, are officially out of the IPL 2024 period. What is even worse is that MI is the to start with crew to be knocked out of the 17th edition.

SRH destroys MI’s 6th IPL title hopes

Their weak kind isn’t the only reason why they were knocked out after the 57th match, but rather Sunrisers Hyderabad’s extraordinary thrashing of the Lucknow Super Giants on May well 8. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma not only destroyed KL Rahul and co. but also Mumbai Indians hopes.

With just two games remaining, MI could generate them selves 6 wins (12 points) at greatest. As of now, six groups previously have the similar selection of wins and points and will most likely earn more as effectively. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings, and Gujarat Titans also have the similar selection of wins (4) and points (8) as Hardik Pandya’s MI, and that much too in a lesser variety of matches (12 to 11).

IPL 2024: Hardik Pandya to blame for the MI’s early exit?

Although Hardik has not been excellent with possibly bat or ball, his captaincy has been questionable as perfectly. From not giving Jasprit Bumrah the new ball to sending Piyush Chawla ahead of Tim David, it is been additional pass up than hit for him. But not all can be pinned on him. 

Most of their batters have superior strike charges but inadequate averages, like Pandya, who’s scored just 198 operates at 19.8. But their bowling has been truly woeful, barring Bumrah’s incredible display screen.

The unorthodox pacer has 18 wickets (purple cap holder), with Hardik getting their best-very best pacer (11 wickets). As for spinners, Piyush Chawla, Shreyas Gopal, and Mohammad Nabi have taken a blended 13 wickets.
