Mumbai Indians’ chances of making it to the IPL 2024 playoffs took a big hit after they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 24 runs on May 3. This was an eighth defeat in 11 matches for Hardik Pandya and co, who find themselves in the ninth spot on the IPL 2024 points table. With three more matches remaining, Mumbai Indians now not only need to win all of these games. The five-time champions, at best, can accumulate 12 points from here on, which would not enough by itself for them to qualify. Mumbai Indians need to win their three remaining matches by good margins so that their Net Run Rate (NRR) improves and also hope that other results go their way.

The Mumbai Indians management replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the side’s captain just ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024. MI failed to make it to the playoffs of the tournament in 2021 and 2022 after winning the title in 2020. However, despite the team’s poor start in 2023, they were able to make it to the tournament’s playoffs but failed to make it to the final. On the other hand, Hardik had a brilliant two seasons with Gujarat Titans wherein he won the title in 2022. Mumbai Indians would have thought, Hardik would bring in the same success he had in GT to MI as well. However, his tenure as the MI captain has been forgettable.
