ipl 2024 haridk pandya mumbai indians schedule in indian premier league | Hardik Pandya: Mumbai Indians are in trouble due to 2 back to back defeats, now good days are coming!

IPL 2024 Mumbai Indians Hardik Pandya : Hardik Pandya may have made Gujarat Titans the IPL champion for the first time as soon as he became the captain in IPL and the team reached the finals the next year, but he feels that he is not liking the captaincy of Mumbai Indians. Although it has been a tradition for Mumbai Indians that the team loses its first match in the IPL, but after two consecutive defeats, the crisis seems to be deepening. But we are going to tell you something that will make you feel that good days are about to come for Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians.

Hardik made his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians, then went to GTI

Hardik Pandya made his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians. After this he managed to make his place even in Team India. Before the 2022 IPL, Mumbai Indians released him and Pandya suddenly reached the new IPL team Gujarat Titans. Not only this, the team also made him its captain. Hardik also did not disappoint and with the help of his team, he made GT the IPL champion in the first attempt. After the year 2022, the team also reached the finals in the year 2023, although could not win the title.

Hardik is captaining Mumbai for the first time

Preparations for the year 2024 were going on when suddenly it was announced that Hardik Pandya has returned to Mumbai Indians. This news shocked everyone. How can the team leave the team which has been a finalist twice in a row under the captaincy of Pandya? But this happened. After some time, it was announced that Hardik Pandya will be the new captain of MI in place of Rohit Sharma. People were surprised by this news also. After this, Hardik’s biggest test was whether he would be able to lead Mumbai Indians to victory. This has not happened in the first two matches.

Pandya is the second captain to lose the first two matches as captain of Mumbai.

Since IPL 2008, Mumbai Indians have changed 9 captains, but except once, it has never happened that the Mumbai captain has lost his first two matches. Earlier this had happened with Harbhajan Singh and now Hardik Pandya has also been included in that list. The performance of Mumbai Indians in the last two years has not been good in the Indian Premier League, perhaps this is the reason why Hardik has been given the command, but the team is still not able to get back on the winning track. But now something is going to happen that good days may come for Mumbai Indians and Hardik Pandya.

All 8 matches played so far have been won by the home team

Actually, till now there have been a total of 8 matches in this year’s IPL and every match has been won by the home team. That means the hosting team has been victorious. Mumbai team has so far played two of its matches at the home of the opposing team, obviously they did not win. But now the Mumbai team will be seen playing at its home i.e. Wankhede Stadium. If this trend of home team’s victory continues, then Mumbai team will not only be able to open its account but can also go far ahead in the points table.

The further schedule of Mumbai Indians is like this

Mumbai Indians will now get a long gap after two matches. The team will now directly face Rajasthan Royals on April 1 at Wankhede Stadium. After this, on April 7, the team will face Delhi Capitals at home. On April 11, the team will again face Royal Challengers Bangalore at home and on April 14, the team will face Punjab Kings at Wankhede. That means the team will play 4 consecutive matches on its home ground. If this trend continues then Mumbai will have a chance to win four consecutive matches. This will not only open the account of the team struggling at number nine without opening the account, but by winning the match the team can also be successful in securing its place in the top 4. Meanwhile, the team now has a gap of three days before the next match, in which the team can rethink its strategy. It remains to be seen how the team performs at home.
