Mumbai Indians: A total of 22 matches have been played in the Indian Premier League 2025 so far. At the same time, group stage matches will be played by May 20. The performance of Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya in IPL 2025, has once again been disappointing. The five -time IPL title winning team has played five matches, in which they have lost four, then they won against KKR. Although the MI is still in the playoff race, the path ahead of them is not going to be easy at all.

Let us tell you how Mi can qualify for the playoff despite losing four matches.

Playoff is expected

Play doors are still open for Mumbai Indians captained by Hardik Pandya, but for this they will have to perform well in their remaining matches. Mumbai Indians have to face two matches with Delhi Capitals, two Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, once Lucknow Super Giants, once Rajasthan Royals, Gujarat Titans and once Punjab Kings.

That is, this season of Mumbai (Mumbai Indians) has a total of 9 matches remaining, out of which it will be mandatory to make them at least 8 matches to confirm the place in the playoffs. If the MI loses 2 out of the remaining 9 matches, then it will be able to reach a total of 16 points and after that he will have to depend on other teams to make it to their playoffs. But with 18 points, the Blue Indians can make a place in the playoffs directly.

Mumbai ahead of Mumbai

Even though the path of playoffs is difficult for Pandya & Co., but this team adorned with the stars has done the acts in this way.

At the same time, Mi will have to do the work once again to make a place in the playoffs. If MI (Mumbai Indians) also loses two matches from here, then his dream of winning the sixth title can only become a dream. However, the good thing is that Mumbai has to play 5 out of this season 9 in their stronghold i.e. Wankhede. Earlier, Mumbai has played two matches here, one of which has won in one of them, and in one, he has suffered a thrilling defeat. Even though the path ahead has become difficult for Hardik Pandya & Co., this team knows how to deal with such situations and make a great comeback.

Batsmen will have to perform

Despite having batsmen like former captain Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Naman Dheer, Will Jacks, Ryan Riculton, Mumbai Indians have not been performing much. Captain Rohit Sharma is struggling for one run, so Ryan Riclton's condition is similar. At the same time, runs are definitely coming out of Suryakumar Yadav's bat, but in the beginning he is failing to score fast. At the same time, Tilak Verma's condition is also similar, if MI has to return to this league, then his batsmen will have to perform in the remaining 9 matches.
