Mumbai Indians, the five-time IPL champions, are already eliminated from IPL 2026 after a string of poor outings. They sit ninth on the table with just 8 points, but will look to play for pride — with Hardik Pandya potentially returning to captain the side after recovering from a back spasm. crictracker
