Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya offered the following reflection on the defeat during the post-match presentation:
“Disappointing to lose, maybe in the field those 10-12 runs we gave were too much on this wicket. We just fell short in the end. I’ve always enjoyed my bowling, haven’t had many options, tried to read the wicket well and take the smarter options. My mindset is to bowl more dot balls and create pressure and the batters make mistakes.”
Hardik Pandya
Pandya continued:
“Really enjoy my bowling, and today was one of those days. As a batting unit, we fell short, don’t want to point out anyone. We win and lose as a team. If we want to take responsibility, we’d take it as a whole unit and I’ll take ownership. That was obvious, we needed some hits, in cricket sometimes one of those days come when you try but it doesn’t come off.”
Hardik Pandya
The 16th IPL 2025 match between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will take place at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, April 5.
