The Captaincy Chaos
The first and foremost reason which some may agree with, and some may not, but the thing is, the MI players did not accept the new captain as the team lacked unity this season. There was no proper planning on what player to use at what situations cost Mumbai most of the games.
Rohit Sharma, the skipper of MI for 11 seasons from 2013 to 2023, led the team to 5 titles, but his sudden exclusion from captaincy did not sit well with both fans and the teammates.

Hardik Pandya, who was seen at his best while captaining Gujarat Titans in the last 2 seasons of IPL, in which he led the team to a title and played the final the next season, failed to deliver as captain and as a player for MI in IPL 2024 due to extreme pressure.
Highly talented side
The team feature some of the best cricketing talents in their squad, from Indian captain Rohit Sharma to India’s premium pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The team possesses all every owner and their fans ever wanted.
But as someone once said, “the root of disappointment is expectation” the over expectations from players to perform in every game has led the team down this season. One can label it as pressure or over confidence, but the players have failed to perform as per their reputation.
