Hardik Pandya not bowling final over can cost MI place in playoff: Sunil Gavaskar

Gujarat Titans clinched a crucial win against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025, significantly impacting the playoff race. The defeat left MI in a tight spot, with their qualification hopes now hanging by a thread.

Following the loss, cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar strongly criticized Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya, pointing out his poor decision-making and lack of clarity on the field. Gavaskar questioned some of the key choices made during the match, including bowling rotations and the batting order.

According to Gavaskar, MI’s inconsistent strategy has hurt their campaign this season. He emphasized that such crucial games require sharp tactical planning, something that MI seemed to lack during this clash with GT.

The result has now made the playoff scenario more competitive, putting immense pressure on MI to win their remaining fixtures and rely on other match outcomes.
