MI and LSG Out of IPL 2026: What Astrology Says About Their Exit

May 10 was quite a sad day for the Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. It all happened within six hours. As the day came to an end, both teams were out of the IPL 2026 playoffs, with 8 losses each. Many fans were heartbroken as these two were one of the strongest teams in the tournament. But 2026 wasn’t just their year.
If you watch a lot of cricket, you might just call this elimination a bad day at work. However, we dug a little deeper and asked the stars what they say for them, and what emerged was a completely different picture. So, to make sense of the events, let us break down what really happened astrologically and whether the MI LSG IPL 2026 exit was fate for both teams.
Quick Glance
- Both Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants struggled under very heavy pressure this IPL season
- Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant are going through difficult leadership phases astrologically
- Their charts show stress, responsibility, and rebuilding more than smooth success right now
- This does not mean their careers are falling apart, just that both are in a tougher chapter
Can Astrology Explain IPL 2026 Team Eliminations?

Many people often wonder if a cricket astrology prediction can tell how the scoreboard would look. The simple answer to this question is no. Astrology shows us the planetary weather, not the exact runs or wickets. However, there is a secret of Vedic astrology cricket readings. The captain’s chart sets the tone for the whole team. Even if all the players are in great form, the team’s overall luck depends on the captain’s planetary alignment. If the captain is in the middle of a storm, the whole team feels the consequences.
Why Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant Faced Similar Pressure

When we look at the charts of Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant, one similarity jumps out. They are both Gemini ascendants. In astrology, your rising sign decides where your career house sits. For Gemini, the 10th house (career and public image) falls in Pisces. Now, here is where things get really interesting. Throughout this IPL season, Pisces had one of the heaviest planetary combinations possible: Mars and Saturn.
Mars brings aggressive criticism and the pressure to make quick, impulsive moves. On the other hand, Saturn connects to delays, slow progress, and that feeling where every effort feels like climbing a mountain. When these two planets sit together in the career house, they create a high-pressure cooker situation. Everything that happened was simply the effect of this transit playing out in real life for both players.
The Astrology Behind MI and LSG’s Same-Day Exit
This part might give you goosebumps and prove that the MI LSG IPL 2026 exit was not just a coincidence. This exit happened on May 10. Do you know what happened on May 11? Mars moved out of Pisces and entered Aries. The universe literally delivered a final knockout blow on the last day it could.
If these matches had taken place 24 hours later, the planetary climate would have been very different. You can manage the effects of Saturn if it is alone, but Mars and Saturn together create a tough situation. That is what ended their season.
How the Same Transit Affected Both Captains Differently
Even though both captains went through the same planetary storm, their birth charts show that they experienced it differently:
- Hardik Pandya’s Kundli: His career house is quite clean. This transit caused a lot of temporary chaos for him, but it did not bring any hidden weaknesses in his chart. Looking at it from his Moon sign (Cancer), his tenth house lord was also with Saturn for the past 45 days. Here, Mars is the yogakara (most beneficial planet) for Cancer, and the victory for him was spoiled by Saturn’s presence. Now that Mars has moved, his career luck will slowly return to normal. The damage is there, but he will bounce back.
- Rishabh Pant’s Horoscope: Pant’s situation is a bit more complicated. He was born with Saturn in his career house. So, this current transit did not just bring pressure; it woke up his natal Saturn, forcing a massive restructuring of his career. For Pant, the sixth house for his Moon sign (Libra) has had Saturn and Mars together for 45 days, where competition was at its peak. Saturn, being the yogakara (the planet that brings luck) for Libra, has been spoiled by Mars because of their rivalry. On top of that, Jupiter (the planet that actually rules his career) is very weak in his chart. Rishabh is absolutely a once-in-a-generation player, but his chart resists captaincy.

Why Rohit Sharma Could Not Change MI’s Fate

A lot of Mumbai Indians fans were left wondering about what happened to Rohit Sharma. Just six days ago, he had scored 84 runs against LSG. He scored 22 runs out of 10 balls, but he just couldn’t recreate that magic on elimination day.
Astrology has a very clear answer for this. On May 10, the Moon moved into the 8th house for Rohit. This house governs sudden, unexpected events and disruptions. So, his luck was temporarily blocked. This is an example that the players can only do so much when the captain’s chart is going through a heavy phase.
How Adhik Maas Connects to This IPL 2026 Exit
There is another layer to this IPL 2026 elimination timing. It happened exactly a week before Adhik Maas begins (May 17 to June 15). In the Hindu calendar, this is a sacred extra month where you pause auspicious things. This period is generally good for self-analysis and deep thinking.
The MI and LSG exit from IPL 2026 playoffs feels like the universe cleared the field for these two exhausted teams right before this period. Now, both of them have a 30-day window to sit back, reflect, and process the season without the pressure of making rushed decisions.
What IPL 2027 Could Look Like for MI and LSG
So, what lies ahead for these two? Looking at the upcoming planetary shifts, the picture actually looks quite hopeful, but different.
- A Change in Leadership: It is highly likely that both MI and LSG will walk into IPL 2027 with new captains.
- Hardik’s Next Step: Hardik might voluntarily step away from the captaincy to focus on his game.
- Pant’s True Role: Pant will probably go back to doing what he does best, being an explosive wicketkeeper and batsman without the weight of the team’s strategy on his shoulders.
Once the captaincy pressure is lifted from their charts, both players will find their rhythm again. This is just the end of a very specific chapter.
What These Planetary Cycles Teach About Difficult Phases
You do not need to be an IPL captain to feel the weight of a heavy transit. We all have those months where nothing seems to go right, no matter how hard we try. Usually, this is just a difficult Dasha period asking us to pause and learn a lesson.

MI LSG IPL 2026 Exit FAQs
1. Did astrology predict MI and LSG’s IPL 2026 exit?
Not exactly. Astrology does not work like a match prediction machine. What it can show is the kind of pressure or timing a captain is dealing with. In both Hardik and Pant’s charts, this season had a phase of public stress, criticism, and leadership testing.
2. What is Hardik Pandya’s zodiac sign and current Dasha?
Hardik is a Libra Sun sign, but his Vedic chart shows a much more intense personality underneath that. Right now, his planetary phase is pushing him toward responsibility and emotional discipline rather than flashy success.
3. Is Rishabh Pant going through a bad planetary phase?
It is better to think of it as a rebuilding phase rather than a bad one. His chart right now feels slower and heavier because Saturn is asking for patience, maturity, and emotional steadiness before things open up again.
4. Can I get my own chart read like this?
Yes. A proper chart reading can show which planetary phase you are in and why certain themes keep repeating in your life. Sometimes just understanding the timing helps things feel less personal and confusing.
5. Does this mean MI and LSG are cursed for next season?
Not at all. Astrology works in cycles. A difficult season does not mean permanent failure. Sports teams, just like people, go through phases where things feel blocked before momentum returns again.
