IPL 2026: Srikkanth Fires Warning at MI as Quota Fizzles Out

MI’s struggling star is feeling the weight of expectation. In a scathing assessment, former Indian captain Kris Srikkanth has laid the blame squarely at Shardul Thakur’s doorstep. Can MI’s ace bowler deliver against a resurgent RCB? or will RCB’s scintillating batting line-up leave him for dead?

Will Shardul’s Dropped Form Haunt Him Against RCB?

Shardul Thakur’s form has been a source of concern for MI fans. The star pacer has struggled to match his own high standards, with a meager 3-39 against KKR being his standout effort this season. His stats, averaging at 10.50 runs per over, are a far cry from his impressive form in the previous season.

  • Trent Boult’s struggles to make an impact, too, have raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike.
  • Deepak Chahar’s poor performance has raised questions about MI’s decision to pick him in the squad.

RCB’s Plans to Expose MI’s Weakness

RCB, on the other hand, appears to be getting its act together. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell in form, RCB is looking like a force to be reckoned with. But, what will RCB do differently? Will they drop Phil Salt and Abhinandan Singh to bolster their batting line-up?

The Verdict: Can MI’s Star Deliver?

MI has shown a glimpse of their prowess in the past, but can they regain their winning form? That’s the million-dollar question. With a star-studded lineup, but shaky performances on the field, MI is yet to justify expectations.
