Mumbai needed 19 runs to win in the last over, but Krunal Pandya took three wickets and defeated Mumbai by 12 runs. Let us tell you that this is Mumbai's fourth consecutive defeat in the tournament. Let us know what Mumbai team captain Hardik Pandya said after this defeat.

What did Hardik Pandya say after losing the match to RCB?

Captain Hardik Pandya (Hardik Pandya Statement) said we missed two shots. RCB used the last overs well, but we could not play that well.

He further said that the pitch was great for batting, but we could not play well in the powerplay, due to which we fell behind by 12 runs in the end. Hardik also said that Tilak has batted brilliantly. Although, he was not able to hit better shots in the last match, in this match he has proved himself. Hardik also said that he is happy that Jasprit Bumrah has returned to the team.

During the post-match presentation, Hardik said that the wicket here was very good. I was just thinking that again we fell short by two hits, there is nothing much to say. He admitted that the score of 221 was good, but his team could not achieve it.

He also said, "The way the wicket was, the bowlers didn't have many options. You can restrict the batsman, but I don't want to be too hard on the bowlers. It was a tough track, we didn't have many options. Naman usually always bats down the order (at the No. 3 position), but he was sent up because Rohit wasn't available. When Rohit came back, we knew Naman would have to come down. Tilak was brilliant. A lot happened last time."
