Irfan Pathan said that the stories of Mumbai Indians end here. See, this was such a good team but it was not managed properly. The questions that were being raised on Hardik Pandya’s captaincy were absolutely correct questions. Because today again when you had dropped 5 wickets for KKR’s 57. After that there was no need for you to give three consecutive overs to Naman Dheer. You should have brought your key bowlers. But you made your sixth bowler bowl 3 overs. There a partnership was formed between Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey.

Irfan Pathan further says that 83 runs partnership was made between Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey. Where you could have bowled out KKR for 150, you made 170 (169) and the difference remained the same. That is why even today it is said that captaincy has a lot of impact… Mumbai Indians do not seem to be a team which is playing unitedly. Let us tell you that Naman Dheer gave 26 runs in his 3 over spell and did not take a single wicket. Naman bowled his two overs after KKR lost 5 wickets. This was when Naman was the sixth bowler of the team.

Kolkata Knight Riders team was all out in this match after scoring 169 runs in 19.5 overs. In response, the Mumbai Indians batsmen surrendered and the entire team collapsed after scoring 145 runs. This is the first time since 2018, when both the teams have been all out in IPL. This is the first match since 2012, when Kolkata Knight Riders have won the match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
