Mumbai Indians' new captain Hardik Pandya got some load off his chest when he registered his first win as MI skipper, when the five-time champions ended their three-match losing run in IPL 2024 with a win over Delhi Capitals at their home ground -- the Wankhede Stadium.
The 29-run win saw Hardik contributing with a knock of 39 runs, but his strike rate of 118.18 came in for some criticism. Defending a huge total of 234/5, Hardik chose to not bowl himself as Delhi threatened for a while before ending up short at 205/8.
