MI had a disappointing IPL 2024, finishing at the bottom of the league under Hardik Pandya, who replaced Rohit Sharma as captain after being traded to Gujarat Titans. Hardik also faced booing at many places last season as his fans expressed their anger over the leadership change at MI. “We have been successful in the past, and we know that in the championship. How to win. So instead of looking at the championship, look at ourselves, try to correct the mistakes and adopt the positive things.

Taker is a bowler who is now a bowling coach. “There's always that winning mentality, because you play the game to win. If you're just there to participate, I think that's not really good. So for me, I'm very confident in my ability , and it has always been like this since childhood.
“I didn't want to be just any cricketer, I wanted to contribute more and do something special. So I don't look at my overs as gold, I look at them as a responsibility. So you have to take the good and the bad. You have to accept both and whenever you win, you start from scratch and whenever you lose, you start from scratch, that's the beauty of this game,” he concluded.
