After winning the toss, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant asked the home team to bat first, and MI posted a huge total of 215/7 on the board in 20 overs. Ryan Rickelton gave them a perfect start by adding 58 off 32, while Suryakumar Yadav showed his consistency once again, scoring 54 off 28 balls at a strike rate of 192.85. 

Rohit Sharma added 12 off five balls, while Jacks contributed 29 off 21. In the end, cameos from Naman Dhir (25* off 11) and debutant, South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch (20 off 10), were crucial in posting that total.

For LSG, all eyes were on the return of their young star pacer, Mayank Yadav. In the last season, he was in the headlines due to his raw pace, but since October 2024, he has been sidelined due to a back injury.

Therefore, he made his comeback in yesterday’s game and bagged two wickets — Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. Avesh Khan also took two wickets, while Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, and Ravi Bishnoi took one each.

Let’s take a look at LSG’s Chase

In reply, LSG needed a brisk start, but they did not get that as Aiden Markram failed for just nine runs. Although Mitchell Marsh scored 34 off 24 and Nicholas Pooran scored 27 off 15, they failed to convert their starts into a big innings. It was another failure for Rishabh Pant, who scored just four runs off two balls.

Then, in the end, Ayush Badoni added 35 (22) and David Miller scored 24 (16), but ultimately, they got bundled out for 161 in 20 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was in superb rhythm as he picked up four wickets and became the all-time highest wicket-taker for MI in the IPL, surpassing former MI legend Lasith Malinga. 

Along with Bumrah, Trent Boult was superb with his three wickets, while Jacks took two and Bosch grabbed one. After this win, MI are now in third spot with 12 points in 10 games, with a net run rate of +0.889, while LSG have dropped to sixth spot with 10 points in 10 games, with a net run rate of -0.325.
