Mumbai Indians are virtually knocked out of the playoff race after the five-time champions suffered their eighth defeat of the season against KKR
. This defeat of the Mumbai Indians has brought Hardik
Pandya, the skipper, under the scanner and received criticism from the fans as well as the experts.
However, former Australian skipper Aaron Finch was in support of Hardik Pandya. Aaron Finch feels that Hardik Pandya is drained out as a skipper.
In his interaction with Star Sports, Aaron Finch said, “He looks flat at the moment; he looks drained. He looks like someone who is feeling the pressure. I feel for him, as I know what it feels like to be in that situation.
Everything that you try doesn’t seem to work, and when the team is not performing well, that’s a really difficult place.”
Finch further added, “It’s one thing when you are not performing, but your team is winning. That’s something you take pride in as a captain. But you wear all the responsibilities of your own performance and also of the team, and it’s an incredibly hard place to be in, particularly in this competition.”
Mumbai Indians will be next seen in action against Pat Cummins Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 6.
