Mumbai innings falterRohit Sharma once again could not play a big innings for Mumbai. He got a good start, but got out after scoring 39 runs. There was also a lot of hope from Suryakumar Yadav in the match, but only 7 runs came off his bat. He was dismissed by Ayush Badoni. This is the first wicket of Badoni in the IPL.
At the same time, Ishan Kishan could not play a big innings once again. He gave his wicket to Ravi Bishnoi after scoring just 8 runs in 20 balls. After Ishaan's dismissal, Devald Brevis also could not play a big innings and was dismissed after scoring 3 runs.
Captain KL Rahul scored the fourth century of IPL for Lucknow. He played an unbeaten 103 off 62 balls. 12 fours and 4 sixes came from his bat.
Lucknow's middle order did not work
Stoinis and Krunal once again disappointed after Manish Pandey was dismissed for 22. Big innings were expected from both, but Stoinis was dismissed without opening the account. At the same time, Krunal Pandya, sent to bat before Deepak Hooda, could only score 1 run. Both have not been able to do anything special with the bat this season.
At the same time, Deepak Hooda's bat also did not play in the match and he got out after scoring just 10 runs.
KL and Pandey pair
Lokesh Rahul and Manish Pandey added 58 runs in 47 balls for the second wicket. Kieron Pollard broke this partnership by dismissing Manish. He returned to the pavilion after scoring 22 runs in 22 balls. His catch was caught by short fine leg Riley Meredith.
Lucknow's slow start
Batting first after losing the toss, Lucknow started poorly. In the fourth over, Quinton de Kock (10) gave his wicket to Bumrah. Mumbai dominated LSG till the power play. Lucknow scored 32/1 in the first 6 overs. In the first 36 balls, the team hit only 3 fours and 1 six.
Playing XI of both teams
Mumbai has not made any changes in the playing 11. At the same time, Lucknow has included Mohsin Khan in the team in place of Avesh.
MI: Rohit Sharma (capt), Ishan Kishan (wk), Devald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Kieron Pollard, Hrithik Shokeen, Daniel Sams, Jaydev Unadkat, Riley Meredith, Jasprit Bumrah.
LSG: Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul (c), Manish Pandey, Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Dushmanth Chamira, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan.
Every player of Mumbai will have to contribute
During the auction in Mumbai Indians, the team was not selected with full planning. If Hardik Pandya is not being retained, another all-rounder of his stature should have been picked instead. Mumbai did not even bid for Trent Boult, naturally now Jasprit Bumrah is left alone in the fast bowling department. Mumbai has no better spinner than Rahul Chahar. Captain Rohit Sharma's poor form coupled with the wrong team combination has put Mumbai at the bottom of the points table.
Since 2018, Rohit's performance in IPL has not been special but other players used to compensate him. This time when the rest of the players are not performing well, Rohit's failure is coming to the fore. In today's match, every player will have to give his 100 percent if Mumbai has to maintain even the slightest hope of reaching the playoffs.
The team combination of Lucknow is looking great
Lucknow Super Giants were heavily trolled for their jerseys before the start of the tournament. As captain, KL Rahul had lost his first 4 matches for Team India. His record was no better when he captained the Punjab Kings in the IPL for two seasons as well. In such a situation, Lucknow was rejected even before the start of the tournament. But under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir, this team has performed wonderfully.
