MI keeps on including useless players such as Hardik in the XI. He is unable to bowl and his batting is not in top form. Rather than giving chances to some of the younger players, the Mumbai Indians persisted with him for the entire tournament. And then they wonder why their middle order batsmen are not scoring runs. Therefore a part of the problem is with the team selection. Also, Kieron Pollard played a crucial role in the previous editions of the IPL. He is also not contributing, either with the bat, or with the ball.
@Sithara007 Hardik was in the playing 11 for sentimental reasons, because they wanted to give him match fitness for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Also besides Hardik collectively MI has failed, and at the end of the season they should introspect why they played so badly and fix the issues before next season starts.
