IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians become the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race

Mumbai Indians (MI) has become the first team to be out of the race for the IPL 2024 playoffs. After the result of the match played between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), it became clear in the points table that Hardik Pandya's team will no longer be a part of the play-off race. SRH, which chased the target of 165 in just 9.4 overs, is now at third place in the points table with 14 points. Also, their net run rate has also increased from -0.065 to 0.41 with this big win.

LSG team will play its next match with Delhi Capitals (DC). Either of these two teams can easily reach at least 13 points. One meaning of this is that now the top four teams in the race for the playoffs will have at least 13 points. Even if MI wins all its remaining matches, it will be able to reach only 12 points. For this reason, his team is now officially out of the race for the playoffs.

This situation was created due to MI starting match loss.

MI started the current season under the leadership of their new captain Hardik Pandya, but they had a bad start with three consecutive defeats. Although after this his team won three of its next four matches, but then they had to face defeat in four consecutive matches, which cost them heavily. Due to this, their chances of reaching the playoffs were significantly reduced.

For MI, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 18 wickets in 12 matches and has bowled at an economy of only 6.20. In his team, Bumrah is currently on top in terms of taking wickets. However, he did not get much support from the other bowlers of the team.

No Mumbai Indians batsman could score more than 400 runs.

At the same time, their batsmen have also performed very poorly. After 12 innings no batsman has scored more than 400 runs. Tilak Verma is their highest scorer with 384 runs at an average of 42.66. Suryakumar Yadav is in second place with 334 runs in nine innings. Rohit Sharma has also been able to score only 330 runs in 12 innings. This season was also very bad for the new captain Hardik. He scored only 198 runs in 11 innings and took 11 wickets with an economy rate of 10.58.
