Hardik Pandya is disappointed after losing the match against the Lucknow Supergiants. He says that Mumbai Indians bowlers conceded 10 to 12 runs more against the opposition team, due to which they had to suffer the consequences. Mumbai lost by 12 runs at the home of Lucknow Supergiants. Mumbai captain Pandya bowled brilliantly and took five wickets for 36 runs. But Lucknow's team scored 203 runs for 8 wickets after being invited to bat first. Chasing the target, Mumbai's team could only score 191 runs for five wickets in 20 overs.

Hardik Pandya said after the match, 'Losing is always disappointing. If I say honestly, we conceded 10-12 runs more in the field. In the end, we lost by this margin.' Hardik has taken five wickets for the first time in T20 cricket. He became the first captain to take five wickets in IPL. He said, 'I have always enjoyed my bowling. I don't have many options, but I choose my options wisely by assessing the wickets. Instead of taking wickets, I try to make the batsmen commit mistakes.'

Mumbai decided to retire Tilak Verma when the team needed 24 runs in seven balls to win. Tilak was struggling to play big shots, he scored 25 runs in 23 balls. When asked about this, Hardik said, 'We needed some big shots, but he was not able to do so. There are some days in cricket when you try but it does not succeed. Just play good cricket, I like to keep it simple.'
