Things have not been good in the five-time champions dressing room as they became the first team to be knocked out of the tournament. There was turmoil even before the start of the season, with Hardik Pandya being appointed as the new skipper of the side for the IPL 2024.
This was the first time that the freedom with which the Mumbai Indians used to dominate other teams was not seen. Even skipper Hardik Pandya faced boos from the fans in every stadium where he played his matches for the franchise.
There have been reports that the senior players are not so convinced of the future of the team under Hardik’s leadership. They have conveyed the same to the coaching staff of the team.
There are arguments that when Hardik Pandya blamed Tilak Verma for Mumbai’s loss against Delhi capitals for not taking chances against Left Arm Spinner, it became one of the major reasons.
The Mumbai Indians will be next seen in action against KKR on May 11.
