Hardik Pandya To Drop Gerald Coetzee; Mumbai Indians’ Probable XI For IPL 2024 Match Vs DC
Hardik Pandya & Gerald Coetzee in IPL 2024 (BCCI)
In order to remain in the race for the playoff qualifications, Mumbai Indians would desperately need a victory over Delhi Capitals on Saturday (April 27) afternoon at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The Hardik Pandya-led side have only had three wins and five losses, resulting in them placing eighth on the points table.
The five-time champions have plenty of areas to worry about before they face Rishabh Pant and his boys in their own backyard. There is still no balance in their playing XI, with Mohammad Nabi failing to fulfil their lofty expectations as a true all-rounder.
To make matters worse, MI's star recruit, Gerald Coetzee, has blown hot and cold this season. There were plenty of expectations from the South African speedster, with an economy rate reading as high as 10.11. Nevertheless, he has found wickets during the period, with 12 scalps under his name at an average of 24.
Considering Delhi's conditions in mind, Mumbai are expected to keep Nabi in their lineup, while Coetzee's chances to remain in the playing XI look bleak. To replace him, Luke Wood is the most likely choice, whereas the others should keep their places despite inconsistencies.
