VIDEO | Gujarat Giants coach Michael Klinger laments dropped catches after loss vs Mumbai Indians

Gujarat Giants head coach Michael Klinger admitted that poor fielding proved costly as his side suffered its first defeat of the WPL 2026 season against Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Stadium on Tuesday.

The primary talking point of the match was a series of costly blunders that allowed Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur to be dropped three times. Klinger was blunt about the impact of those missed opportunities, noting the difficulty of containing a world-class batter once she has been given multiple reprieves.

“It is difficult when you give someone like Harmanpreet Kaur three lives,” Klinger stated during the post-match press conference. “In a tournament of this caliber, those are chances you simply have to take.”
