Latest News :- On April 1, in the 14th league match of IPL 2024 T20, Rajasthan defeated Mumbai by 6 runs. In this way the team registered its third win and remained on top of the points table. Mumbai, who batted first in the match, scored only 125/9 and quickly won. For Rajasthan, captain Hardik Pandya scored 34 runs and Tilak Verma scored 32 runs while Trent Boult and Sahal took 3 wickets each. Chasing 126 runs, Rajasthan achieved the target in 15.3 overs and won easily. Ryan Barak scored 54* (39) for Mumbai while Akash Madwal took the maximum of 3 wickets.

Don't get respect: Under the leadership of new captain Hardik Pandya, Mumbai has lost all 3 matches so far this season and is at the bottom of the points table with a hat-trick of defeats. Earlier in this series, Mumbai fans were strongly opposing Pandya who was captaining in place of Rohit Sharma.

In such a match, while batting first, Rohit Sharma, Naman Dheer and Devault Pravis scored a golden duck for Mumbai at trend bolt speed. So captain Pandya, who came next to Mumbai, who was faltering at 14/3, played aggressively. Tilak Verma, on the other hand, knew the situation and played calmly. But on the other hand, Pandya, who continued to play aggressively, was out after scoring 34 (21) with 6 fours and was out without finishing.

In this matter, former player Irfan Pathan indirectly criticized Pandya and said that when the team falters in difficult situations, a good batsman should not even know that he should take the match till the end. This is the third time in this IPL series that he has criticized Pandya on Twitter. “People who know cricket know this very well. “That means if you get organized you have to look at your team as a whole.”

You always want your captain to work hard in difficult situations. “Maybe if he doesn't do that, he won't get the respect of his team.” It is noteworthy that Mumbai, which has suffered a hat-trick of defeats, has been forced to return to winning ways in the next matches to enter the playoffs.
