Hardik Pandya rues Mumbai Indians’ poor death bowling after playoff exit vs Rajasthan Royals
Conceding 73 runs in the last five overs cost Mumbai Indians the match, said skipper Hardik Pandya after the five-time champions fell short by 30 runs against Rajasthan Royals in Match 69 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Mumbai had claimed the prolific and aggressive Rajasthan openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi cheaply and had them on the ropes at 119/5. But Jofra Archer played a brilliant cameo, hitting three sixes in his 15-ball 32, and with help from Ravindra Jadeja (19* off 11) and Nandre Burger (10* off 3), helped Rajasthan Royals post a challenging 205/8 in 20 overs.
