KKR vs MI: Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya looked disappointed after the 9th defeat of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders. After the match he said that MI has not played good cricket this season. For IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians have snatched the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and handed it over to Hardik Pandya. This season, the team's performance under Pandya's captaincy has been disappointing. MI has lost 9 out of 13 matches played so far while winning only 4. Mumbai Indians became the first team to be eliminated from IPL 2024. After the defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders, Hardik Pandya said, I don't think we have played very good cricket this season.
have fun and play nice
Talking about the match against KKR, the captain said that it was difficult. The foundation was laid as a batting unit but we couldn't capitalize on it and couldn't maintain the momentum. The wicket was a little up and down. And it was a bit sticky so speed was very important. I think this score could have been achieved considering the circumstances. I thought the bowlers performed well. Pandya has also given a message to the team for the last match of the season that, nothing, just go and enjoy as much as you can and play well, this has been my motto from the beginning.
The match started a little late due to rain
Kolkata Knight Riders, who batted first after losing the toss in this match due to rain, scored 157 runs at the loss of 7 wickets. Due to late start the match was reduced to 4-4 overs. Venkatesh Iyer played the highest innings of 42 runs for KKR. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma gave an explosive start to the MI team chasing the target, but due to the failure of the middle order, the team could not reach the target. Apart from Ishan Kishan's 40 runs and Tilak Verma's 32 runs on 17 balls, none of the MI batsmen could make an impact. Mumbai could score only 139 runs in 16 overs. KKR has entered the playoffs by winning this match by 16 runs.
