Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya shared his thoughts on the team's defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. Despite acknowledging their bowling mistakes, Pandya remained optimistic about the young bowling lineup's learning curve.

"Wicket was good, 277 no matter how bad or good you bowl, if the opposition has to score that much, they have batted well. They (the bowlers) were good, it was tough out there, almost 500 runs were scored and the wicket was helping the batters, we could have done a few things here and there, but having said that, we have a young bowling attack and we will learn."

Pandya also expressed confidence in his team's ability to bounce back and backed debutant Kwena Maphaka despite his tough outing.

"If the ball goes this many times into the crowd, you will need time to get the overs done. Everyone (the batters) looked good and it is just a matter of time before we put things right. He (Kwena Maphaka) was fantastic, coming into his first game and getting overwhelmed, he was alright and backed his skillset, just needs some game time."

Mumbai Indians will be next seen in action when they take on Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium on 1st April.
