- Mumbai Indians team is almost out of IPL 2024
- MI performed very shamefully under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.
- Mumbai Indians had to face the wrath of Virender Sehwag
Mumbai Indians team is almost out of IPL 2024 after losing the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have had a very disappointing performance so far this season and the team has won only 3 out of 11 matches, while losing 8. Mumbai Indians had to face the wrath of Virender Sehwag after losing the match against Kolkata by 24 runs. The veteran player has clearly raised questions on the batting of Mumbai Indians.
What did Sehwag say?
Sehwag said that he was surprised by the arrival of captain Hardik Pandya and Tim David at number 7 and 8 respectively. Sehwag also raised questions on KKR's star all-rounder Andre Russell coming to bat lower in the order. Sehwag said that 'KKR saved Andre Russell. He played only two balls. Mumbai Indians saved Hardik Pandya and Tim David. What did you achieve by doing this? There were many balls left and all were out. You could have come earlier or perhaps you could have finished before the game.
Questions raised on Mumbai Indians' batting
Sehwag raised questions on the batting order of Mumbai Indians. He said, 'I don't know what happens to them when they chase… Hardik Pandya was out for 7 and Tim David was out for 8. I didn't understand what he did. Are these players so bad that they will be eliminated after coming in first? Sehwag also reacted to Hardik's poor batting. He said, 'When Hardik Pandya was the captain of Gujarat, he used to bat at number four continuously. What happens here? I am surprised that experienced players are stooping so low.
demanding strict action
Sehwag demanded the Mumbai team management to take strict action against the players and said, 'I am shocked by this. The management should take strict action against the players and ask them what is happening or the players should speak up as to why their batting order is changing. Here the captain, batting coach, bowling coach and support staff are guilty. Bosses need to ask tough questions.
