The Mumbai Indians, five-time IPL champions, have been struggling in the recent editions of the Indian Premier League. Despite winning the trophy in 2020, they have only managed one Playoff berth in the last five seasons. The change in captaincy from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya has not yielded positive results. Although they broke their opening-match curse this year, their performance has been disappointing with just two wins from eight matches. Virender Sehwag and Murali Kartik discussed MI’s recent game where they failed to defend 243 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad, questioning the decision to not utilize Shardul Thakur as a bowler. The team’s performance has been heavily criticized, with their qualification for the playoffs becoming increasingly uncertain. MI is currently in a do-or-die situation, with every defeat potentially ending their journey in the tournament.
