Ishan Kishan has flopped with his batting in IPL 2024 so far. The left-handed batter got out a duck in the opening clash against Gujarat Titans. He scored 34 off 13 in the next game to come up with a better show, however, failed to convert his good start into a big knock.
The wicket-keeper batter also failed to score in the previous match vs Rajasthan Royals. He got out for 16 runs as MI faced a big blunder while batting. Hence, Kishan has failed to provide fabulous starts to Mumbai Indians so far in IPL 2024.

Notably, Ishan Kishan was also punished by BCCI recently. He did not comply with the board’s order to play in Ranji Trophy 2023-24. Kishan didn’t play in the tournament to evade any injuries ahead of IPL 2024. Later, the Indian Cricket Board did offer him BCCI’s central contracts for the 2023-2024 season.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians have faced a miserable start in IPL 2024. The Hardik Pandya-led side has lost three consecutive games at the start. Mumbai Indians lost to Gujarat Titans in their first match.
Later, they faced losses against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. Losing three games in a row at the start, the five-time champions have moved to the last spot in the IPL 2024 points table. Mumbai Indians (MI) are all set to face Delhi Capitals in the next match of IPL 2024. They will take on Delhi at their home Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
MI faced a big batting collapse in the last match
In their previous match vs Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians faced a big batting collapse. With 3 wickets each by RR pacer Trent Boult and spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, Mumbai mustered a miserable 125-9 in 1st innings.
Ishan Kishan added 16 runs as MI lost three batters for a duck. Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, and Dewald Brevis faced golden ducks and MI struggled at 20-4 at one stage. Later, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma etched a 50-plus stand for 5th wicket.
However, Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed both MI batters to turn the match completely in Rajasthan Royals’ favor. Lower-order batter Tim David could only add 17 runs. Rajasthan Royals chased down the target in 15.3 overs to clinch a big victory. Notably, MI is the only team with no wins in IPL 2024 so far.
