Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), has stated how excited he is for Sunday, April 20, when the MI will play the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium.
After defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) back-to-back, Mumbai has gained some momentum. They defeated the 2016 winners by four wickets at home on April 17. After losing four of their first five games, MI has recovered thanks to these two outcomes.
Because of the legendary rivalry that has grown between MI and CSK throughout the years, their matches are known as the IPL El Clasico. Both teams are vying for an unprecedented sixth IPL championship. When the two teams play each other for the second time in the competition, Hardik Pandya anticipates a full Wankhede Stadium. He stated that his side will recuperate for a while before playing the Men in Yellow on Sunday.
“The house will be crowded. I have no doubt that the game will be fantastic. After the game, Hardik Pandya remarked, “We just need to get a good night’s sleep so that we can see them again on Sunday.”
We bowled today in a really astute and accurate manner: Hardik Pandya
On Thursday, Hardik commended his bowlers for their performance against a formidable SRH batting lineup. The Orange Army was confined to 162/5 by Jasprit Bumrah and company. MI responded by reaching the target with 11 balls remaining and four wickets.
“We bowled today in a very astute and accurate manner. We followed simple arrangements and discovered that some deliveries are difficult to make. We kind of squeezed it in that game,” Hardik Pandya remarked.
“It has a pleasant greenness and might be a good track. A handful of the balls that Deepak bowled got stuck there. We therefore believed that a shift in tempo might be beneficial. Our goal was to change things up. Because the batters can line you up if you repeatedly bowl the slower ones. They were unable to grasp the rhythm because we performed well with the yorkers as well,” he continued.
