BCCI also added saying that,

“As it was his team’s second offense of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offenses, Pandya was fined INR 24 Lac. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 6 Lac or 25 percent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.”

The Mumbai franchise got punished heavily in this IPL season for making the offense repeatedly. The first time, when MI played with PBK, Hardik got fined Rs.12 Lakhs for slow over-rate.

Hardik Pandya speaking in the post-match presentation said that,

“I think losing early wickets is tough to recover from and that’s why we couldn’t do it (recover) today.”

Also, he added that,

“You still have to see the ball and hit. We just missed those balls and got out, that has been the kind of season we have had so far. I have always believed that you will be up and you’ll be up, it just that you have to give it your all.

A lot of things to learn from this game. It has been fantastic. I think he (Nehal Wadhera) did last year as well, he couldn’t get opportunities earlier (in the tournament) but he will play a lot of IPL and (represent) India eventually.”

Presently Mi franchise is in ninth position on the points table. And this franchise will next face KKR on May 3 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
