IPL 2024: 'We will go back...,' Nita Ambani on Mumbai Indians' 'disappointing' season

Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani termed the franchise's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season as disappointing and said that the team will 'think about it.'. MI finished last in the league stage with just four wins and 10 losses in 14 games under Hardik Pandya, who was leading the side in the IPL 2024.

"Disappointing season for all of us. Things didn't go the way we wanted them to, but I'm still a huge Mumbai Indians fan. Not just an owner. I think to wear the Mumbai Indians jersey is a huge honour and a privilege, and to be associated with Mumbai Indians, for me, is an honour and a privilege. I think, we will go back, review and think about it," Ambani said.

The five-time champions started the season horribly, losing three games on the trot before registering consecutive wins in the next two games.

Their season seemed to come on the track with one more win from the next two games. Four losses in the next four games, however, left them hanging by a thread in the race of playoffs. In their last three league games, MI could manage only one win as they crashed out of the playoff race in Pandya's first season as full-time skipper.

Pandya had replaced long-time skipper Rohit Sharma before the start of the season. Notably, it was under Rohit that MI had won all their five titles - the joint most in the IPL.

Rohit emerged as MI's highest run-getter this season with 417 runs to his name in 14 matches including a fifty and a hundred as well. He scored those runs at an average of 32 but a whopping strike rate of 150. Pandya, on the other hand, managed just 216 runs  at an average of 18 to go with his 11 wickets as well.
