Mumbai Indians return to winning form in IPL 2024
Having secured two consecutive victories, Mumbai Indians will strive to maintain their momentum and uphold their winning streak. Initially positioned ninth in the standings, the five-time champions have climbed to seventh place with four points from five matches.
Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, the team could mount a strong challenge for the playoffs if they maintain their winning streak. Their upcoming game against long-standing rivals, the Chennai Super Kings, is expected to be a crucial showdown.
Both teams will face off in the 29th match of the tournament at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, April 14. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have experienced ups and downs in the tournament, winning three out of five games played. As they prepare to take on MI, CSK will strive to secure another victory.
After the win, Hardik Pandya, MI captain said: “Always good to win. The way we have won – it’s quite impressive. Impact player has given the opportunity to use an extra bowler if we require. It gives me a cushion as well. At the same point, if someone is having a bad day, it helps us to cover those overs. The way Ro and Kishan batted, giving the platform, it was important for us to finish it early. We didn’t speak about it. That’s the beauty of this team, players know what the situation is. As soon as we saw the target get lesser, we thought we might as well finish it early for NRR. Blessed to have Bumrah in my side. He does it over and over again.”
“Any time I ask him to bowl, he comes and does what he does. He practices a lot. Before doing anything in the game, he makes sure he practices in the nets. The amount of experience and confidence he has is tremendous. I did tell him when he scored the fifty that welcome back (Surya). Always good to have Surya in your team with the areas he hits. I’ve been opposition captain as well against him, it’s tough to put field for him. Some place he hits, I’ve never seen batters hit there. (I’ll do) Whatever the situation requires – last game I had to take some time, and this game’s scenario was different. I’ve always been a fan of whatever the situation demands,” he concluded.
