The Mumbai Indians have been eliminated from IPL 2026, and they became the second team after the Lucknow Super Giants to be officially knocked out of the competition after their defeat to the defending champions, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The Mumbai Indians suffered a heartbreaking defeat in Raipur, and they were knocked out of the race to the playoffs. Handing over the final over to Raj Angad Bawa, the Indian youngster who is not even a regular bowler for his domestic side has raised many eyebrows.
"How did you do this, Mumbai? Ghazanfar had one over left, but you went with Raj Angad Bawa. The youngster who doesn’t even bowl regularly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, you entrusted the 20th over to him," said the former Indian batter.
Aakash Chopra frustrated over lack of clarity in the MI camp over the Impact player rule
"You also made an impact substitute. Since the Impact Player rule has come, it has happened twice in IPL history that you took an Impact sub, but you didn’t give him the ball or the bat. It happened with Shardul Thakur. It happened with Raghu Sharma,” Aakash Chopra said in a video on X.
"Sharma wasn’t brought into the bowl because the wicket wasn’t helping the spinners. If you couldn’t bowl Ghazanfar, then I understand why you didn’t bowl Raghu. But here lies the big question.
“In the 2010s, Mumbai used to win the IPL every alternate year." - Aakash Chopra left baffled by MI's poor stint in this decade
Akash Chopra also looked disheartened by Mumbai's recent performances in the last few editions of the IPL.
“In the 2010s, Mumbai used to win the IPL every alternate year. 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and then in 2020. But when you came into the 2020s, Mumbai became the team who gets eliminated first in every alternate year."
“It’s a team that has the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, who hasn’t scored runs, Tilak Varma, who has played just 2 good knocks. The team has Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Trent Boult, Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, Deepak Chahar, Ghazanfar, Naman Dhir. Still, they are the first ones to be eliminated. The time of introspection has come,” he added.
