Michael Clarke, the ex-captain of Australia, highlighted the internal discord within the Mumbai Indians franchise and predicted that the team would not reach the playoffs in the current season of the Indian Premier League. Clarke’s comments came before Mumbai Indians’ match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium on April 30th. Mumbai has struggled, occupying the second-to-last position in the points table with only three victories in nine matches. MI will aim to defeat LSG to maintain their chances of qualifying for the playoffs this season.

Clarke expressed skepticism about Mumbai Indians’ playoff chances, suggesting it might be wishful thinking for them in the current IPL season. He hinted at underlying issues beyond what’s visible externally and emphasized that a team with such a talented roster shouldn’t be performing so inconsistently.

Clarke suggested that there might be distinct factions within the Mumbai Indians’ dressing room, indicating that something isn’t clicking, and the players aren’t bonding or performing cohesively as a unit.

MI’s performances have lacked consistency this season. Although they initially struggled, they managed to secure consecutive victories against DC and RCB. However, they failed to maintain that momentum. Now, led by Hardik Pandya, they face the daunting task of winning their remaining five matches to have a shot at qualifying for the playoffs. The internal dynamics of the team, particularly since Hardik took over from the five-time IPL-winning captain Rohit Sharma, have been a topic of discussion among fans and experts alike.
