What Happened

Former India opener Sadagoppan Ramesh criticized Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya's tactics in their 22-run IPL 2026 defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Ramesh cited Pandya's poor bowling decisions, including using Bumrah inefficiently and bowling spinners at both ends during overs seven and eight. Mumbai, placed eighth with two points from four games, has lost three consecutive matches. Ramesh stated Pandya's captaincy remains the team's only significant issue despite having experienced players like Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
