2 min readApr 29, 2026 01:41 PM IST Former South Africa captain Shaun Pollock has blamed three Mumbai Indians bowlers as the reason the five-time champions have had a torrid Indian Premier League 2026 season. Pollock laid the blame for Mumbai’s form on the steps of Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur, saying that the trio and their poor bowling numbers have let the team down. Mumbai are currently ninth on the points table. They’ve lost five out of their seven matches despite a team composition that many believed would do exceedingly well at the IPL. Pollock took aim at Mumbai’s bowling unit and said, “They’ve been let down by their three key bowling options – Boult, Thakur, and Chahar. They would have considered them bankers pre-season. The 11 they are playing now is very far from the one they would have picked right after the auction. That’s probably been the biggest surprise.” The former South African skipper also spoke about the abundance of options that Mumbai possessed and how that might be an …

Ex-India cricketer’s brutal take on Shardul Thakur ahead of MI vs RCB clash

3 min readUpdated: Apr 12, 2026 05:39 PM IST Former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth has launched a scathing attack on Mumbai Indians’ fast-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur and also criticised pacer Deepak Chahar for letting the team down in the first few games of IPL 2026. Shardul Thakur won the Player of the Match award for his three-wicket haul against Kolkata Knight Riders, but was expensive for Mumbai Indians in the following two games, both of which the five-time champions lost. After starting their IPL 2026 campaign with a win over KKR, Mumbai faltered against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. In a marquee clash on Sunday, defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on MI. In his usual no-holds-barred style, Srikkanth said Shardul is already done for the season after helping his team win just one game. “Shardul Thakur’s quota for the season is over in the first match itself with a Player of the Match award. The RCB batters will smash him to Marine Drive and Church Gate station,” he said on his YouTube channel. …

Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya lavished praise on debutant Ashwani Kumar for his 4-wicket haul against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede on Monday. Pandya revealed that he decided to go with Ashwani after witnessing him in action in a practice game where he had zip and late swing, adding that he thought the 23-year-old had a pretty different action. “This wicket just offered a bit more and we thought Ashwani can come in and bowl the way he bowled. First of all, it’s all because of the scouts. All MI scouts have gone all the places and picked these young kids. We played a practice game and it looked like he had that zip and late swing, had a different action and plus he is a leftie. The way he took that wicket of Russell was a very crucial wicket,” Hardik said at the post-match chat. The MI skipper also singled out the moment the youngster gobbled up the catch of Quinton de Kock off Deepak Chahar’s bowling in the second over …

‘Collective batting failure’, says Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane after MI thrash them by 8 wickets | Ipl News

A forlorn Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane said that his team’s ‘collective batting failure’ was the reason for their 8-wicket loss against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede on Monday. Kolkata were brought to their knees by MI debutant Ashwani Kumar who snapped up figures of 4/24 as the defending champions were skittled out for just 116. “Collective batting failure. It was a good wicket bat on as I mentioned in the toss. 180-190 would have been good on this wicket. It has a very good bounce. Sometimes you have to use the pace and bounce. We got to learn really fast from this game,” Rahane said in the post-match chat. “Couldn’t do much with the ball. They tried their best. But not much runs on the board. We kept on losing wickets. Four wickets in the powerplay. It was difficult to consolidate and get that total on the board. You need that partnership going. You need one batsman to stay till the end,” he added.

Mumbai Indians Ashwani Kumar had a dream debut for the franchise when he snapped up 4 wickets in his first-ever Indian Premier League match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, becoming the only Indian player to do so. The left arm seamer, who was snapped up by MI for just 50 lakhs in the IPL 2025 mega auction, showed his talent when he also became only the second player in the league’s history to snap up a wicket from his very first delivery. Kumar who was bought in for the 4th over of the match struck straightaway off his first ball when he took out KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane for just 11 runs. He would continue with his fine form, snapping up both Rinku Singh and Manish Pandey in the same over. He sent back Andre Russell for his fourth, setting the record in the process with figures of 4/22. “I felt very good, there was pressure but the team environment helped me to settle down.

IPL Auction 2025: After spending a total of 39.55 crore on 18 players at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the Mumbai Indians (MI) have, with their retentions and buys, built a potential title winning squad. Locking horns with a lot of other teams in fierce competition, MI roped in players like Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, and the one making the headlines for the team, Trent Boult.
