Meanwhile, Hardik's own form has also not been anywhere up to his potential. He conceded 38 runs in two overs with the ball, while scoring a solitary run in two balls. 

‘Need to see what we can do best’

"I think that in the powerplay, losing that early wicket is always going to be tricky. You are always chasing the game and we could not cope up after that. I would not say that. I’m not someone who would like to say that. They batted well, they scored 207. It was the same track, it is the same soil. We should have just batted well," Hardik said at the post-match presentation. 

Hardik also admitted that there could be changes going ahead.

"I think that will be the chat where we will go back to again, go forward and figure out what we need to do. We have a couple of days. We just need to see what we can do best," he added. 

In their next game, Mumbai take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 29. MI would be desperate to get their campaign back on track with a win.
