Graeme Smith and Hardik Pandya. (Photo Source: Twitter) Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) registered their seventh win in IPL 2024 by defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 24 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Batting first, Kolkata was all out for 169 runs. Later, their bowlers bowled brilliantly and restricted Mumbai to 145 runs and with this win they retained the second position in the points table. Graeme Smith and Shane Watson expressed their opinion about Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians. Speaking on GeoCinema’s IPL show Match Center Live, Graeme Smith and Shane Watson praised Suryakumar Yadav (56 runs) but also criticized the difficulties Mumbai Indians have faced this season. Shane Watson spoke on the captaincy issues of Mumbai Indians. He said, “It was a big mistake for the Mumbai Indians captain, even if it was Hardik Pandya, to keep bowling Naman Dheer when the situation was so serious (KKR was at 57-5). Bumrah had bowled only one over at that stage, so he needed to be brought back into the game to try to break the partnership of Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey. But he didn’t just let them carry on and help build the partnership, before you know it, he didn’t play any shots in anger, and it took the partnership to where it was too late when it came. Was. The Mumbai Indians captain took some decisions which are difficult to understand.” Graeme Smith said about this match of Mumbai Indians that- “Hardik has really struggled, he seems to be under a lot of pressure. This created a bit of a stir in the air, who knows what effect it had on people. But even their batting lineup looks confused. Tilak Verma and Naman Dheer were battling in the middle order, with Dheer batting at number three and Hardik roaming all over the place. They should have made Tilak bat at 3, Sky at 4, Hardik at 5 and David at 6 throughout the season. Then, find your bowling units. All around, they have been a very confused team this season and it has been extremely disappointing from one of the mega franchises of the IPL. “Many people in the MI fanbase and camp will be very sad tonight.”

He has taken over from God- Michael Vaughan Vaughan told Cricbuzz, he has taken over the charge from God. It’s like Sir Alex Ferguson is still in the dressing room when the new manager comes in. MS Dhoni is still there. It will be very difficult. It is difficult to give instructions to Dhoni, but I think it is MS who has taken the decision to step aside. Other than this michael vaughn Also gave advice to CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. He said that till now I have not seen Ruturaj in complete control in the middle.
