Post-match story:
After the MI vs RCB match, MI captain Pandya said, “Always good to win. The way we have won – it’s quite impressive. Impact player has given the opportunity to use an extra bowler if we require. It gives me a cushion as well. At the same point, if someone is having a bad day, it helps us to cover those overs. The way Ro and Kishan batted, giving the platform, it was important for us to finish it early. We didn’t speak about it. That’s the beauty of this team, players know what the situation is.”
After this MI vs RCB match, MI team mentor Sachin Tendulkar took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and hailed Pandya and his team, he wrote “Two wins on the trot now for @mipaltan after a tricky start to the tournament. @Jaspritbumrah93 was sensational, once again proving why he’s the best in the business”, he wrote.
“@ImRo45 and @ishankishan51’s fearless batting during the powerplay overs effectively reduced the required run rate. It was good to see @surya_14kumar hitting the ball so sweetly after his injury layoff. Lovely to have him back in the team, playing in top gear. @hardikpandya7 finishing the game off in style was the icing on the cake”, he further added.
