Irfan Pathan Praises Hardik Pandya for That Move: Once, it felt that the game was slipping away from Mumbai’s hands until a game-changer happened. And according to Irfan Pathan, this game-changer happened because of skipper Hardik Pandya’s one key decision.

Mumbai Indians looked like the match would be duck soup for them as Punjab were shot down to 14/4 and then 76/6 in the chase of 193. Then Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma shifted the momentum, and it seemed like Punjab might steal the match at the end.
But this feeling got burned down when Hardik Pandya gave the 13th over to the Yorker king, Jasprit Bumrah. The star bowler sent Shashank to the pavilion, and that was the turning point of the match. Former pacer Irfan Pathan recognized it and praised the MI captain.
“Hardik Pandya was proactive as a captain and made a game-changing move by giving the 13th over to Jasprit Bumrah. He didn’t keep him for the death-overs. Had Hardik done that, it would have been game over for Mumbai Indians, as Shashank was hitting them all over the park. I think this is where Mumbai won the game,” said Irfan Pathan.
What’s Next for MI?
MI has 6 points from 7 matches in the tournament and will be facing Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals on April 22 in Jaipur.
