Hardik Pandya expresses profound gratitude towards Mumbai Indians management for their unwavering support and encouragement, which proved instrumental in keeping the team motivated despite facing setbacks in the initial three games of the season. As the newly appointed captain, Pandya faced the daunting task of leading the team after replacing the revered five-time IPL-winning skipper Rohit Sharma. However, his return to the team's helm was met with skepticism from fans, resulting in constant booing, especially during matches at the Wankhede Stadium. Despite the challenging circumstances and the team's three consecutive losses, Pandya acknowledges the immense belief and backing provided by the management, which fueled the team's resilience.

In the post-match presentation following their impressive 29-run victory over Delhi Capitals, Pandya highlighted the team's collective effort and determination. He attributed the turnaround to the unwavering belief within the team and emphasized the significance of the much-needed win after a string of defeats. Batting at No. 7, Romario Shepherd's remarkable performance, particularly his explosive batting in the final over, played a pivotal role in securing the victory for Mumbai Indians. Pandya lauded Shepherd's contribution, acknowledging him as the game-changer against Delhi Capitals.

Pandya expressed satisfaction with the team's improved performance and emphasized the importance of maintaining the current combination. He assured that tactical changes would be made as necessary, but stressed the significance of stability within the team. Regarding his own role, Pandya clarified that he would resume bowling at the appropriate time, as the team had other bases covered in the recent matches.

Romario Shepherd, reflecting on his match-winning performance, attributed his success to relentless hard work and clear mindset. He credited his efforts in the nets for his outstanding performance and highlighted the importance of staying focused and composed.

However, for Delhi Capitals, it was a disappointing outcome as they suffered their fourth loss in five matches. Skipper Rishabh Pant identified batting and death overs bowling as areas needing improvement. Anrich Nortje's costly final over, which conceded 32 runs, proved decisive in Delhi Capitals' defeat. Pant acknowledged the team's efforts but emphasized the need to address shortcomings, particularly in the crucial phases of the game. Despite Tristan Stubbs' valiant effort with the bat, Delhi Capitals' batting powerplay and lack of support from other batsmen hindered their chase of the formidable target set by Mumbai Indians.
