After Mumbai Indians suffered a 31-run loss to SunRisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday, new captain Hardik Pandya gave a pep talk for the team in the dressing room. Pat Cummins-led SRH posted the highest-ever total in the Indian Premier League – 277 for 3 – and defeated Mumbai Indians by 31 runs in a six-hit session. Mumbai responded strongly in this match as they set an IPL record with 38 sixes but ended with 246 for 5 in the stipulated quota of 20 overs.

“Toughest soldiers given the toughest tests, we are the toughest team in the competition. Anyone who can come close to the level our batting group has achieved is us.” Hardi King on Mumbai Indians on social media said in the video shared.

The bowlers on both sides struggled, especially those of Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah emerged as MI’s top bowler with figures of 1 for 36 in four overs.

“What I’m really proud of is our bowlers. Even though it was a tough day, I didn’t see anyone run away. Everybody wanted the ball (in their hands) and I thought it was a good sight,” Ha said Dick.

“Let’s make sure we’re there for each other throughout, and no matter what happens, whether it’s the worst, the bad, the good, we’re going to handle it together. We’re going to be in this together.”

“The strongest warriors endure the most severe tests”
