New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is now heading towards its final phase, with the 51st match scheduled to be played this Friday at 7:30 PM. Cricket fans are visibly excited about the upcoming match. Amidst the ongoing IPL season, the team generating the most buzz is the Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai Indians have been quite disappointing this season as well, currently sitting at the 9th spot on the points table.

Mumbai Indians’ next match is scheduled to be played against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 10. Ahead of the match, speculation regarding Hardik Pandya’s participation is running high. The question of whether or not he will take the field against RCB remains unanswered. However, no official announcement has been made regarding this matter yet.

Pandya Did Not Play Against LSG

According to a report published on Cricbuzz, Hardik Pandya is set to catch a flight to Raipur on Thursday night. Sources suggest that Hardik Pandya’s back injury is gradually healing. It was this injury that forced him to sit out the match against the Lucknow Super Giants. Along with Pandya, several other Mumbai Indians players also had to miss that game. These other Mumbai Indians players are also expected to board the flight to Raipur alongside Pandya.

Will Pandya Be Able to Play Against RCB?

Various discussions are currently circulating regarding Hardik Pandya’s availability. On May 8, the Mumbai Indians squad will participate in a training session. Following this, the medical team will make a final decision on whether or not Hardik Pandya is fit to play in the upcoming match.

Given their performance so far this season, a sense of disappointment is undoubtedly palpable among the players; however, any decisions regarding potential future changes will be deferred until after the season concludes. A source confirmed that no changes will be made within the team setup midway through the season.

Major Update on These Players as Well

For the record, Suryakumar became a father on Thursday. His wife, Devisha Shetty, gave birth to a baby girl. It is being reported that, given the current situation, the Mumbai Indians management has left the decision of whether or not to play in the match against RCB entirely up to Suryakumar Yadav.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, there is no major update regarding Jasprit Bumrah either. However, some experts certainly believe that Mumbai’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs are negligible.
