Hardik Pandya's Form Dragging MI in IPL 2026

Hardik Pandya has managed just 146 runs in eight innings and four wickets in seven bowling spells, contributing to Mumbai Indians’ poor start and a likely playoff miss.

Hardik Pandya has scored 146 runs at a strike rate of 136.44, with a best of 40, and taken only four wickets at an economy of 12.26. The captain’s lack of form has helped turn MI’s early title hopes into a nightmare campaign, as the team has lost seven of its first nine matches and is now unlikely to reach the playoffs. zeppelin.cool
