Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya said it was important to stay disciplined and humble following their sixth win on the bounce in the IPL here on Thursday. MI crushed RR by 100 runs to end the home team's playoffs hopes. "Everyone is very clear and we are going back to simple cricket, it is working for us and hopefully it continues. We want to be humble, very disciplined and keep focusing," said Hardik at the post match presentation. "We could have got another 15 runs. What we were trying to speak to each other was to play percentage shots. Surya and I said there's value for shots... Ro (Rohit) and Ryan batted the same way. I think it was absolutely fantastic. "It is never about people getting chances; it's about what is required in the situation. People are going back to batsmanship. As a group, the way we batted was proper batsmanship." Mumbai Indians made 217 for two after being put in to bat. RR stand-in skipper Riyan Parag MI batters simply took the game away from them.
