Meanwhile, Trent Boult caused havoc in the top order of the Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, eliminating important players for golden ducks, causing the former to suffer early defeats in their IPL 2024 encounter. Mumbai could only muster 125 for 9, despite heroic efforts from Tilak Varma and Pandya, who hit 32 and 34 runs respectively. For the Rajasthan Royals, Boult and Chahal were outstanding; they both took three wickets, while Nandre Burger took two.

For the Rajasthan Royals, Riyan Parag was brilliant in the second innings, amassing a half-century and leading his side to a convincing win that saw him win the Orange Cap. Pandya's leadership has come under fire after the Rajasthan Royals put on an outstanding display, reaching the goal with 6 wickets and 27 balls remaining.

As captain of Mumbai, Pandya has clearly had a difficult start to the IPL 2024 season, and the dissatisfaction of the crowd was evident not just in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad but also in Mumbai. Pandya is under a lot of pressure to allay the rumours about his captaincy and win over the supporters and his team.
