Mumbai’s playoff death spiral is self-inflicted incompetence masquerading as misfortune. Hardik’s absence matters less than MI’s inability to build depth—they’ve mortgaged their future for aging stars. RCB’s bowling-first call exploits MI’s fragile middle order relentlessly. With nine points from 13 games, MI needs a miracle win and favorable results elsewhere. They won’t get either. This franchise is cooked.
