The Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) defeat against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) meant that the Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first team to be knocked out of IPL 2024. MI had an outside chance of qualifying for the playoffs before tonight's SRH vs LSG, but the probability has now come down to 0 percent after SRH's big win.The Mumbai Indians are currently ninth in the IPL 2024 points table with eight points from 12 matches. Even if they win their remaining two matches, they will reach 12 points, which will not be enough for a top 4 finish.Interestingly, the Gujarat Titans, who are one spot below the Mumbai Indians, still have a small chance of qualifying for the playoffs. GT need to win their remaining three league games and hope a lot of results go their way for them to finish in the top 4.Speaking of MI's elimination, many fans were disappointed to see the five-time champions being eliminated first from the tournament.
