Despite claiming his maiden five-wicket haul in T20 cricket, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya found himself on the wrong side of the result on Friday, as MI fell short by 12 runs against hosts Lucknow Super Giants.
Reflecting on the loss, Pandya emphasised the need for sharper decision-making, saying the team must "take better calls, be smarter in bowling, and take chances in batting" moving forward.
