As they grappled with the online backlash, their team's poor performance only added to their woes. Despite the pressures, the MI squad took a break in Daman and Diu to unwind.

Hardik Pandya has faced considerable criticism, both on and off the field, primarily due to his captaincy role at MI. He has been jeered by fans whenever he appeared on the field. The negativity peaked during MI's home game at the Wankhede Stadium. Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri has come out in support of Pandya, advising him to stay focused and concentrate on delivering results.

Meanwhile, Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav has joined the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of their next game on Friday. Suryakumar has not featured in a single game of IPL 2024 thus far because of injury concerns. He has now received a clearance from the NCA to participate in the tournament. He is expected to make it to the playing XI in MI's next game on Sunday. 

Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Delhi Capitals in their next match on April 7.
