Bumrah-Hardik Field-Placement Clash — MI vs PBKS, IPL 2026

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya and senior bowler Jasprit Bumrah were involved in a visible on-field disagreement over field placements during MI's defeat to Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on 16 April 2026. The incident, broadcast live, came during PBKS's chase as Prabhsimran Singh — eventually 80 not out and player of the match — was building his innings. After Bumrah dropped a catch from Pandya's bowling, Pandya was filmed reacting angrily towards his senior bowler. The defeat was MI's fourth in a row.
