IPL 2026 | Hardik Pandya leaves stunned after Robin Minz and Deepak Chahar’s comedy of errors – WATCH

Robin Minz and Deepak Chahar NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians’ miserable IPL 2026 campaign was summed up perfectly during their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday when a comedy of errors in the field left skipper Hardik Pandya visibly frustrated.That moment came in the 10th over through KKR’s chase. Pandya sent a short one to Rovman Powell who attempted a pull but only managed a leading edge high into the air.What should have been a simple catch turned into a complete mess.Robin Minz and Deepak Chahar both settled under the ball but neither made a full impact. As the catch went down, both fielders looked at each other and gestured as if expecting the other fielder to take charge.Chahar seemed to be in a better position and should ideally complete the catch. Minz even backed off at the last minute, but Chahar seemingly lost focus after spotting his teammate in his peripheral vision. Eventually, the ball landed safely between two fielders, providing Powell with a lifeline.Pandya’s reaction immediately told the story. The MI captain looked stunned and deeply disappointed as another costly mistake was added to Mumbai Indians’ difficult season.Earlier, Mumbai Indians struggled to put together a competitive total, managing only 147/8 in their 20 overs in the rain-interrupted contest.Asked to bat first, MI never found momentum and slipped to 41/4 during the over.Pandya scored 26 while Tilak Varma made a slow 20 as the pair looked to rebuild with 43 runs. Late fireworks from Corbin Bosch, who remained unbeaten on 32 off 18 balls, helped MI close in on the 150-run mark.Saurabh Dubey (2/34), Cameron Green (2/23), Kartik Tyagi (2/37) and Sunil Narine (1/13) impressed with the ball for KKR.Already out of playoff contention, Mumbai Indians have endured a forgettable IPL 2026 season filled with injuries, inconsistent performances and costly mistakes on the field.
