In this match, Mumbai Indians team came to bat first after winning the toss, in which in the 12th over of their innings, when Jamie Overton was bowling for CSK, on the last ball of his over, Tilak Verma tried to play a scoop shot by moving a little away from the crease. But he could not connect the ball properly and the ball went straight to his wrist. Due to this, the fitness band that Tilak was wearing on his wrist broke due to being hit by the ball and immediately fell apart. All the fans present in the stadium were shocked for some time as soon as this incident happened, after which Tilak also appeared to be in some trouble due to being hit by the ball on his wrist due to which the physio had to come on the field.
Tilak Verma was able to show amazing performance with the bat in only one match this season.
A major reason for the poor performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 is Tilak Verma not performing as per expectations. This season, till now only one big inning has been seen from Tilak’s bat in 9 matches in which he had scored 101 unbeaten runs. Apart from this, if we look at the performance of Tilak Verma, he has scored only 193 runs at an average of 24.13 and that includes only one century innings. Apart from this, if we talk about Tilak’s strike rate, it has been 162.18, while in one match he has also returned to the pavilion on a duck.
