What’s happening to Mumbai Indians? Once the IPL giants, MI now look like a shadow of themselves.
And the biggest culprit? Hardik Pandya. Wasn’t he supposed to bring in fresh energy and aggression? Instead he’s leading MI into chaos.
Even Dhoni’s recent struggles at CSK don’t compare to the mess Hardik has created. Is MI crumbling under poor leadership?
Chasing 197 against Gujarat Titans, MI collapsed to 160/6. Hardik batted like MI had all the time in the world, defending instead of attacking. Suryakumar Yadav, one of the best T20 batters, looked lost.
MI’s batting had no intent and their approach was baffling. Is this the same team that once dominated the IPL? Fans are right to be angry.
From the moment MI replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik, fans were skeptical. Now their fears are justified.
Hardik’s field placements have no strategy, his bowling changes make no sense and his own performances are disappointing.
Instead of leading from the front, he looks hesitant, lacks the bold decision making MI once thrived on. Has MI made a huge mistake?
Yes CSK has had its struggles but even an aging Dhoni keeps his team competitive.Hardik is failing on all fronts – batting, bowling and leadership. CSK fights till the last ball; MI looks beaten long before the game ends.
Where is the MI spirit? Where is the hunger to win? Right now MI under Hardik looks worse than CSK at its lowest.
MI under Hardik Pandya is falling apart. Is it lack of leadership? Poor strategy? Broken team culture?
Whatever the reason, MI is crumbling and Hardik’s captaincy is a disaster. How long before MI realises they made a big mistake? Will they course correct before it’s too late?
