While speaking at the post-match press conference, Wadhera said that from now on the Mumbai-based franchise need to 'tighten their socks'.
"MI need to win all their games from here and we need to tighten our socks. We need to raise our game and figure out where we have been going wrong or where we have been going right so that we can rectify our mistakes whenever we return," Wadhera said.
He added that the team is "optimistic" even after conceding a defeat and continuing the process in the upcoming games.
"We have been in such a situation in earlier seasons as well, and we have, you know, upped our game from there and qualified. So, we are optimistic even right now. We will continue the process we are following and win the games for the team. We win as a team, and we lose as a team," he added.
