Mumbai Indians have had a very disappointing start in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 6 wickets. Batting first, Mumbai Indians were able to score only 125 runs at the loss of 9 wickets.

Rajasthan Royals chased the target with 27 balls remaining. After the third consecutive defeat this season, Hardik Pandya is being trolled a lot on social media. Former Indian player Navjot Singh Sidhu has given suggestions to Hardik Pandya for the upcoming matches, saying that he should focus on the team combination.

Attention should be paid to team combination- Navjot Singh Sidhu

After three consecutive defeats in IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya must be feeling a lot of pressure as captain at this time. Cricket commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu says that if Mumbai Indians had won the last two matches, people probably would not have talked.

Navjot Singh Sidhu while talking on Star Sports said, ‘There is no such thing as success. If Mumbai Indians had won the last two matches, everyone would have remained silent. I think he (Pandya) should focus on the team combination. When you give away 277 runs, everyone will say that your bowling is not good. The match against Gujarat was close. He was defeated, not humiliated.

Navjot Singh Sidhu has also advised Hardik Pandya to learn from Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Sidhu further said, ‘See what Dhoni does. When Devon Conway, who was their leading run-scorer last season, got injured, they got Rachin Ravindra, who is similar and somewhat better. He needs to find that type of replacement.

Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the points table with 3 losses in 3 matches. The team will next play against Delhi Capitals on April 7 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
