“It feels good to win. I’m glad the lads are moving forward in the proper direction. After the altercation, Pandya stated in the post-match presentation, “I’ve felt, once everyone starts clicking in this team, there will be domination.”
With four losses in their opening five games, the Mumbai Indians recorded the worst start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. After losing their first match against CSK, they went on to lose to GT and LSG before succumbing to LSG in the away leg.
But the subsequent events have been nothing short of spectacular. After that, the five-time IPL champions turned their season around, defeating DC, SRH, CSK, and SRH to move up to third place with ten points. After MI defeated SRH by seven wickets once more, captain and all-rounder Hardik Pandya said he was confident MI will win the IPL once all of their players were playing well.
Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, MI’s new ball bowlers, put on a fantastic display, taking six wickets between them. Chahar finished with periods of 2/12 after bowling four consecutive overs.
Rohit and SKY completed it after Deepak and Boult set it up. All in all, a fantastic victory. I’ve come to realise that sometimes being captain is about following your gut and not necessarily planning ahead. “Why hold his fourth over back in a situation like this, where he bowled brilliantly in the powerplay?” he said.
In the IPL 2025, Boult also had his greatest performance, ending with 4/26. According to the left-arm seamer’s post-match presentation, he needs to be prepared to bowl at any time.
It’s nice to help a well-known team win. The most fulfilling thing was being able to maintain a quality side down in their home environment. It’s good to see a few catches being held, and Deepak did a fantastic job,” Boult remarked.
“I wish I could swing it around and bowl four straight, but that’s not always possible. At any point when you are called to bowl, you must be prepared. This year, I have a little different function, but I want to stay because I’ve enjoyed my time so far.
