3 things MI must do to return to winning ways
With momentum slipping early in the tournament, the Hardik Pandya-led side will need to address some key issues quickly to avoid falling behind in the playoff race.
2. Improve powerplay bowling
The bowling unit struggled against Rajasthan Royals, conceding 150 runs in just 11 overs, which highlighted the issues with the ball this season. Barring their match against Delhi Capitals, MI bowlers have looked ineffective in the powerplay overs in IPL 2026.
KKR came out all guns blazing against them at the Wankhede Stadium, scoring 78 runs in the powerplay. Even in the rain-affected game against RR, they conceded 59 runs in just 3.2-over powerplay. If MI want to improve the overall form, the bowlers must step up, especially in the powerplay.
