Mumbai’s Unfortunate Exit

After losing 5 consecutive matches during the season’s start, Mumbai Indians were at the bottom of the points table, but eventually climbed up the ladder and qualified for the second qualifiers. Although Mumbai Indians could not qualify for the finals but they gave an outstanding performance in the eliminators against the Gujarat Giants. They fell short during the second qualifiers against the Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which eventually led to their removal from the season.
