Hardik Pandya Blames Powerplay Collapse as Mumbai Indians Fall to Chennai Super Kings
Hardik Pandya admitted early Powerplay setbacks derailed Mumbai Indians in their 103-run loss to Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026.
Chasing 208, MI collapsed for 104, with Pandya saying losing early wickets left them “always chasing the game.” He refused to blame conditions, crediting CSK’s batting led by Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 101. Akeal Hosein starred with 4/17, while Noor Ahmad provided key support. Pandya noted MI needed a strong Powerplay to stay competitive but failed to build momentum.
The defeat drops MI to eighth in the points table, increasing pressure ahead of their next fixture against SRH.
