Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya has been on the receiving end of criticism for his bowling changes and captaincy in the first two games of the 2024 edition of the IPL. Hardik’s usage of strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been a concern given the latter has bowled much of his overs in the second half in both games while bowling just one in the powerplay in each of the games. On Wednesday, March 27 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), it was pretty apparent after Sunrisers Hyderabad had scored 148 runs in the first 10 overs and Bumrah had bowled just one over.
