Liam Livingstone, who juggles between leg-break and off-spin, struck twice in the middle overs to keep Punjab Kings alive in the game. However, he did not get much support from fellow spinner Harpreet Brar, who leaked 35 in his four overs in a low-scoring affair.

The 'Wizard of Ahmedabad' Jasprit Bumrah turned out to be the difference-maker for Mumbai Indians again as the Hardik Pandya-led franchise defeated Punjab Kings by 9 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Thursday. Bumrah's figures of 3 for 21 in 4 overs proved crucial to MI's triumph as PBK nearly pulled off a heroic chase, courtesy of rookies Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh. After Bumrah was named the Player of the Match, West Indies legend Ian Bishop shared an out-of-this-world praise for the marquee pacer.
Hardik Pandya could be the captain of the Mumbai Indians franchise but Rohit Sharma's expertise was called upon by the skipper ahead of the tense last over against Punjab Kings in the India Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Thursday. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Rohit could be seen setting the field right before the start of the final over of the match. Though skipper Hardik was on the field, it was Rohit was given the responsibility, probably by the captain himself, considering his expertise.
Former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody feels Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya did not use pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah optimally during the IPL clash against Punjab Kings which allowed them to fight back from a difficult position and come within touching distance of MI's total. Bumrah was matchless in the game in Mullanpur on Thursday, taking the wickets of opener Sam Curran, Rilee Rossouw and the dangerous Shashank Singh to help MI win by nine runs. MI had set PBKS a target of 193.
The controversy regarding Hardik Pandya's appointment as the captain of Mumbai Indians has many facets. Ever since Hardik replaced Rohit Sharma as the new leader of the five-time champions, he has been facing severe criticism for the fans. Even during the matches, the India all-rounder goes through a lot of booing from the fans. Amid all this, MI are also having a mediocre outing in the ongoing season as they have won only four out of seven matches. Many former cricketers and experts have given their opinion regarding Hardik's treatment.
