IPL 2025: Mumbai captain Hardik is happy after scoring a four off victory, said- I am happy that the team is going in the right direction

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is very happy after winning four consecutive matches in IPL 2025. On Wednesday, the Mumbai team defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets. After this victory, Hardik said that he was happy that the team was going in the right direction. After restricting Sunrisers to 143 runs for eight wickets based on Trent Boult's four wickets, Mumbai won by three wickets based on Rohit Sharma's second consecutive half-century.

'If all the players are in form, there will be dominance'

Hardik said after the match, 'It feels good to win. I am happy that the team is going in the right direction. I think when all the players are in form, we will dominate. Deepak and Boult did the job in bowling, while Rohit and Suryakumar did the batting. It was a great win.'

'We are satisfied with this victory'

When asked about getting Deepak Chahar to bowl four consecutive overs, he said, 'Many times in captaincy, decisions have to be taken according to the situation. Many things cannot be predetermined. When he was bowling well in the powerplay, there was no reason to stop his fourth over.' On making Vignesh Puthur bowl, Hardik said, 'At that time we wanted him to take a risk and get us a wicket. It was difficult for a young player. We can get better in all departments. We discussed about being very clinical and very smart. We will take it forward game by game. We are very satisfied with this win.'
