The Mumbai Indians have reached the end of another disastrous campaign in 2026. Ever since Hardik Pandya took over as the skipper of the MI side, they have finished at the bottom of the points table in two seasons, 2024 and now possibly 2026 as well.
Amid the win against the Punjab Kings, the star seamer Shardul Thakur, who picked four wickets in the night for his team, was questioned on Hardik Pandya's availability and also the speculations over the internet that suggest a possible trade involving the cricketer.
"Plenty of discussions keep happening on social media; some are right, some are wrong, but these are also management decisions," Thakur said, as quoted by Cricbuzz. "And if we talk about the player, Hardik had an injury, so he was not able to travel for two games. He travelled to Raipur but was not able to play the game; now he is training in Mumbai," he added.
Shardul Thakur is the second-highest wicket-taker for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026
Shardul Thakur currently captains the Mumbai domestic team and has played an entire domestic career on these home tracks. Hence, he was considered a crucial addition to the side. However, the Mumbai Indians made some shocking decisions, like bringing him in as an impact player but not utilising him for a single ball.
Key factors that led the MI's downfall in IPL 2026
Several factors led to MI's failure in IPL 2026; one of the most prevalent ones remains the poor captaincy from Hardik Pandya or the low wicket-taking season for Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has picked just three wickets despite playing all games this season.
