The Mumbai Indians (MI), once a dominant force in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with five titles, are having a disappointing season. After winning their last trophy in 2020, they have struggled, managing only two wins out of eight matches this year. The team recently faced a significant loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium, failing to defend a total of 243 runs. During a discussion on Cricbuzz, former players Virender Sehwag and Murali Kartik analyzed MI's performance, particularly questioning the decision to bring in bowler Shardul Thakur as an Impact Player without allowing him to bowl. Kartik expressed confusion over the decision, while Sehwag humorously suggested he could spray Red Bull on Kartik's face, highlighting the awkwardness of the moment. As the season progresses, MI finds itself in a precarious position, currently sitting second from the bottom, with every match becoming crucial for their playoff hopes.
