Hardik Pandya is gutted as Marco Jansen removes him immediately after getting tonked for 6 in PBKS vs MI IPL 2025 match [Watch]
Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya faced anguish after being dismissed in the IPL 2025 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is hosting the clash on Monday, May 26.
The right-handed batter began the 17th over, bowled by Marco Janses, with a maximum. However, he fell immediately as he tried to go the aerial route off a wider delivery, caught behind by wicketkeeper Josh Inglis. As a result, Pandya perished for 26 runs off 15 balls as Mumbai lost their fifth wicket for 150.
Marco Jansen bowled a length ball outside off, and Pandya threw his hands at it as he slashed hard at it. All he managed was a thick outside edge, and Inglis completed a regulation catch towards his right. Following the catch, the batter looked gutted as he failed to make the most of a good start.
