They suffered defeats throughout the season
After the match, Hardik said, 'We did not play quality cricket and we had to suffer the consequences of this throughout the season.' He further said that this is a professional world. But it is too early to say what went wrong. Hardik's performance as captain in this IPL season was poor and his team lagged behind in the tournament.
Pandya banned for one match and fined Rs 30 lakh
However, Hardik Pandya's individual performance has also not been that good, he has scored just 216 runs in a total of 14 matches of the IPL season at an average of 18 and a strike rate of 143.05. Hardik could not perform well in bowling also. He took 11 wickets, but his economy rate was 10.75. Therefore, for the third time in this IPL, Pandya has been banned from playing in the next match due to bowling at a slow over rate. The rest of MI's playing XI, including influential players, have been individually fined Rs 12 lakh or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lower.
