Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed that Hardik Pandya is dealing with a back issue that has prevented him from training, which led to his omission from the recent match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The loss to RCB solidified MI's exit from the playoff race, making them the second team after Lucknow Super Giants to be eliminated. Jayawardene expressed disappointment with the season, noting that the team had opportunities but failed to capitalize, falling short of the wins needed to remain in contention.
