IPL 2024 PBKS vs MI: In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, on 18 April, Mumbai Indians defeated Punjab Kings by 9 runs in a thrilling match. In the match played at Yadvindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Chandigarh, Punjab Kings needed 12 runs to win in the last over and this over was to be bowled by Akash Madhwal. The 19th over was bowled by captain Hardik Pandya, in which Kagiso Rabada hit a six. After Rabada's six, there was a lot of tension in the Mumbai Indians camp before the last over. While Punjab Kings needed 12 runs in the last over, Mumbai Indians had to take just one more wicket to win. A video has surfaced of Akash Madhwal, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya regarding fielding before the last over. Seeing this video, it seems that Akash is completely ignoring captain Hardik Pandya and talking to former captain Rohit Sharma about the fielding position.
Commentators also noticed this and commented on it. Akash Madhwal tried to start the over with a wide yorker, but could not control the line and thus Punjab Kings got an extra run. Kagiso Rabada was out while trying to score two runs on the next ball and thus Mumbai Indians won the match by 9 runs.
As for his future… Pandya called Ashutosh's innings 'unbelievable'
BCCI's action against Hardik Pandya, this punishment given after victory
After this match, Mumbai Indians team captain Hardik Pandya has also been fined for slow over rate. The IPL 2024 season has been full of difficulties for Hardik Pandya so far. His captaincy, bowling and batting have not shown any edge and in such a situation, it seems difficult for him to make a place in the squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Suryakumar Yadav played an inning of 78 runs for Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah was special in bowling. Bumrah took three wickets for 21 runs in four overs and was also chosen man of the match.
