Navjot Singh Sidhu picks his IPL 2024 playoff contenders
"Mumbai is a lethal side boss," said Sidhu.
The competition for the IPL 2024 playoffs is intensifying, with the Rajasthan Royals currently leading the pack. No team has been eliminated from contention yet. The Royals have been dominant so far, amassing 14 points. The Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are all tied at ten points each.
The Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans are also in the mix with eight points each. Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has chosen Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings as his top three picks to reach the IPL 2024 playoffs, with the fourth spot being a toss-up between Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Mumbai Indians.
“Teen teams ko select he kar rahi hai apne aap ko. Chennai Super Kings ho gaya, KKR ho gayi, and Rajasthan Royals ho gaya. 2 teams aisi hai jo mujhe lagta hai... Ek toh Sunrisers Hyderabad, aur ek pata nahi kyu, ek aisa daav khelne ko dil karta hai chahe kuch bhi ho, Mumbai (Indians). I always feel Mumbai Indians have the tenacity to cloud over difficult situations. Choone ki chatt hai vo, jitne thappad maarte jaoge utni he shakt hoti jayegi. If they can sort out their bowling and Hardik comes back into his own, Mumbai is a lethal side boss. Superb team,” Sidhu said on a video posted by Star Sports.
There is nothing that succeeds like success: Sidhu
The Mumbai Indians are currently struggling for consistency in the ongoing IPL 2024 campaign as they are placed eighth in the points table with just three victories. The team, led by Hardik Pandya, has been at the centre of several controversies and things have not improved for them as they lost their first three matches of the season. Recently, Sidhu gave his opinion on the rumours surrounding Hardik replacing Rohit Sharma as the captain of MI.

"Nobody can digest the fact that India's hero, India's captain, is not the captain of our franchise. 'What wrong has he done?' is what fans of the franchise would be thinking. But what does he have to do? There is nothing that succeeds like success. If he had won these two matches, there wouldn't have been any noise," he added.
