Mumbai Indians once again ended up conceding a 250+ score in an IPL 2024 match as Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs took Jasprit Bumrah and Co to the cleaners on Saturday. The MI bowlers looked completely out of ideas as Fraser-McGurk played a destructive knock to provide the perfect foundation for Stubbs and Shai Hope to finish the match in style. Rishabh Pant also joined the party as he slammed a 19-ball-29. Hardik was left fuming as the MI bowlers continued to leak wickets against the DC batters and his furious expression has gone viral on social media. Hardik has faced a lot of criticism for his captaincy in the IPL 2024 and these performances have not helped his case.

“That’s my role, go out there and score as many as I can and get the team off to a nice start. Not at all, if I get ones and twos it’s probably off the last ball of the over or if I mis-hit it. It’s something I’ve always had, getting that base right and having the right stance. There’s a lot of timing involved in it. The ones that you mis-hit, you need to have a strong core, upper body and glutes as well,” Fraser-McGurk said.
