IPL 2024: Under-pressure Mumbai Indians Hope To Shine In Home Comfort (Preview)
Impact Substitute Nandre Burger: With two defeats in two matches, Mumbai Indians and their newly appointed captain Hardik Pandya were booed off the pitch in their previous encounter. And the side is currently under tremendous pressure but there are a lot of matches remaining to bounce back. The five-time winner of the Indian Premier League (IPL) face a challenging task when they take on Rajasthan Royals in their third match of the 2024 edition at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
Having abruptly appointed Hardik Pandya as captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a decision that shocked their fans, Mumbai Indians started their IPL 2024 campaign with a six-run defeat to Gujarat Titans, whom Pandya had led to victory in 2022, and to a runner-up finish last season.
Things got worse as the Reliance Industries-owned team went down to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 31 runs in another away match and are now placed at the bottom of the 10-team points table, yet to open their account.
