The Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is set to return for the upcoming IPL 2026 clash between the Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians at Guwahati. The all-rounder has been sidelined for the side’s previous clash against the Delhi Capitals, where they suffered a 6-wicket victory. With Mumbai Indians preparing for the upcoming clash, Mumbai Indians bowling coach Paras Mhambrey confirmed the return of captain on Monday. “He will be available, he had a good couple of hours of net session yester. He is fit and fine. Just to clarify, Hardik wasn’t injured, he was unwell, that’s why he missed the game,” said Mhambrey in pre-match conference. Hardik Pandya who had been integral part of the side, missed the previous outing due to illness. Suryakumar Yadav stepped in as captain, but they failed to capitalise and heavily missed all-roun abilities on a tack surface.

4 min readMumbaiApr 6, 2026 07:38 PM IST As teams in the IPL and possibly around the world begin to gather more data on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, something different caught the eye during the Rajasthan Royals’ match against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday. It is now well known that the 15-year-old loves to target the leg-side, in the arc between long-on and square leg. Bowlers have looked to target Sooryvanshi’s stumps and test him against the short ball. However, those tactics have played into the left-hander’s hands, allowing him to hit to the onside and clear the boundary with ease. On Saturday, though, Sooryavanshi was tested. The GT bowlers consistently bowled on or outside his off-stump to try to negate his strengths and force him to swing across the line. The southpaw, however, seemed ready for the challenge. In his knock of 31 runs off 18 balls, 22 runs came on the off-side, including a four and a sensational six over third man, as well as runs towards covers and long-off. On …

Mumbai Indians equal best streak in IPL 2025 season

Published by Webster

The Mumbai Indians have returned to their formidable best mid-way through the IPL 2025 season as the five-time champions topped the points table on Thursday, following their dominating 100-run win over the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. After starting the season with only 1 victory in five matches, Hardik Pandya’s MI have bounced back in commanding fashion, stacking up six consecutive wins since to amass 14 points. MI’s win over RR also helped them equal their best-ever winning streak in the IPL, matching their efforts from the inaugural 2008 season and the 2017 edition where they clinched their third title. Here’s a look at the record for the most consecutive wins in the IPL 2014-15: Kolkata Knight Riders: After a rocky start with seven losses in their first nine matches, Gautam Gambhir’s KKR turned the tables dramatically, stringing together an impressive nine consecutive victories that culminated in them lifting the IPL trophy. Their winning momentum continued into the 2015 season, as they won their opening match, extending their streak to ten. Story continues below this ad …

Tilak Varma confident of a Mumbai Indians comeback: ‘We always catch up in the middle and end of IPL’ | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Despite sitting in the bottom half of the points table midway through the season, Tilak Varma is confident that Mumbai Indians will mount a comeback in the latter half, starting with their game against the Rajasthan Royals on Monday. “Except for one year, Mumbai has always been in this scenario (start slow). At the start, we don’t start that great, but Mumbai always catches up in the middle and end of the tournament. So, we always believe in our strategy, plans, practices, and everything else. So, hopefully, we will also do that this year, and we are trying to do that,” Tilak said on the eve of the game in Jaipur. “We are just focusing on one game at a time and are not looking much forward to the championship. We are just going one game at a time. As I said, we are just planning a strategy, and everything is going well. We will be winning in the coming games,” he added. After seven games of the season, MI have three wins and are …

IPL 2024: How Mumbai Indians collectively combusted to disappoint home fans | Ipl News

Synopsis: It was a night of disappointment for Mumbai Indians batsmen as they imploded on a red-soil pitch with some assistance to seam and some bounce for spinners before a composed Riyan Parag ensured Rajasthan Royals cantered to a win It was all set for a Rohit Sharma special. Only it didn’t happen. When he walked into the arena before the game, he was greeted with loud fanatic cheers, borrowing a line from the Ramgopal Verma movie Satya: “Mumbai ka raja kaun, Rohit Sharma!” When he came to bat later, the cheers were deafening and he took a while to get ready. The guard was scratched, a look here and there, and one at the bowler, and he was yet to settle in. A slight shimmy to the legside to look around even more as the shouts kept growing. Eventually, he faced up but Trent Boult pulled down the blinds with a perfect curler away, not merely the garden-variety angler but one that seamed away, and Rohit’s hands betrayed him as they covered for the …

Rohit Sharma got startled when the fans’ adulation from the stand spilled over to the field of play as a supporter evaded security and ran towards the former Mumbai Indians skipper and gave him a hug. Rohit was dictating something to his fellow teammate when he turned back and saw the fan steaming in towards him and took 2-3 steps back. He, however, gained his composure and allowed to the fan to hug him. The person the hugged Ishan Kishan and was escorted out by the security personnel.

MI vs RR: Hardik Pandya booed, Rohit Sharma doesn’t last long, an Impact sub that bombed and more | Ipl News

Published by Webster

The Hardik Pandya saga is reaching new levels of absurdity with every passing day in this IPL. Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar started the toss broadcast with “We are all set for the toss here. We have got the two captains with me. Hardik Pandya, captain of the Mumbai Indians. Big round of applause, ladies and gentlemen… (pause, some boos) Behave!” It was just another bizarre moment in this whole episode ‘Raja’ leaves after one ball ‘Mumbai ka Raja’ got a great ovation when he walked in, but that didn’t help him when he received a pearler from Trent Boult first up. Left-arm pace swinging into him has been Rohit’s kryptonite for a long time, and he would have been expecting and preparing himself for one. But it was the away-going delivery that did for the India captain. The Mumbai crowd that had professed its love for the multiple-time IPL-winning captain was stunned. It was the reversal of fortune from the 50-over World Cup semifinal at the same venue when Rohit had taken down Boult in the …
