"We were not up to the mark, and that cost us"- MI captain Hardik Pandya after loss vs PBKS in IPL 2025 match in Jaipur
At the post-match presentation, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya reflected on the loss, saying:
"The way the wicket played, we haven't been up to the mark on that one and missed it. It has always been very tough, and if you take the leg off the accelerator, then the other teams are keen to win games. The message is clear: to get ready for the knockouts. As an overall batting unit, we were 20 runs short, and we will figure it out post-game. We backed Ashwani, we felt that it would work today, but that is fine."
"It would have been the same; the second wicket stand was outstanding, where they took on certain deliveries and got the runs. Overall, we were not up to the mark, and that cost us. We need to play good cricket. What template will work as a batting group. The bowling has been great throughout the season. We are in the same situation as four days ago and we are looking forward to the Eliminator," Pandya elaborated after the defeat.
