MI was unable to cap up the season with a victory as they were defeated by the Lucknow Super Giants once more on Friday. Captain Hardik Pandya acknowledged his team's difficulties in the IPL 2024 season following the defeat to LSG, but also expressed excitement for the league's upcoming season.Pandya remarked, "Quite difficult, we didn't play good quality cricket this season and it cost us the whole season," during a conversation with the broadcasters. In the world of professionals, there will inevitably be good and terrible days. Our collective lack of skill and strategy in cricket was evident in the outcome. It's too early to pinpoint exactly what went wrong this evening.

The entire season took a turn for the worst. We can go on to the next season and forget about this game,"Notably, the administration of MI chose to relieve Rohit Sharma of the captaincy prior to the 2024 Indian Premier League season, appointing Hardik Pandya, who was acquired from the Gujarat Titans, in his place. Early in the season, the devoted MI supporters opposed the new captain, with Pandya frequently subjected to jeers at the Wankhede Stadium and other venues around the nation.LSG gives MI an 18-run beating in the last league stage game: The Mumbai Indians were soundly defeated by LSG by 18 runs on Friday in the teams' last league game. The Lucknow-based team amassed 214/6 in 20 overs thanks to a 75-run effort from Nicholas Pooran, who was the best batsman among the LSG. In response, MI was unable to surpass the total despite some sharp criticism from Naman Dhir and Rohit Sharma.
