Lsg vs mi, ipl 2025: Two Indian cricket superstars Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant will be face to face in the Indian Premier League today (Friday). The special thing is that both these Khiladi are struggling to get the form. While Rohit has scored 21 runs in 3 matches, Rishabh Pant has also scored 17 runs in 3 matches. That is, in a way, both of them will be ordered in Lucknow’s ‘Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium’.
The 5 -time IPL Champion Mumbai Indians (Mi) has not been able to perform anything special in this season so far. He has scored just two points in three matches. The bad form of batting by Indian captain Rohit has put Mumbai Indians team management in trouble. The same situation is for LSG captain Pant, whose poor form is not proving helpful for the domestic team.
Both teams are almost equal with one win in three matches. In such a situation, the competition will depend on which team takes better advantage of the circumstances. Curator is not providing favorable pitch for domestic teams, due to which some franchise coaches and players are disappointed. Zaheer Khan raised questions after the match with Punjab Kings (PBKS).
In such a situation, only the team that performs better with the bat or ball in the powerplay overs can win. Mumbai fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah’s long -time absence and the silence on his return has further increased the disappointment of the Hardik Pandya -led team due to injury.
However, Mumbai was successful with the fast bowling of young left -handed bowler Ashwini Kumar, who won the match on 31 March with a brilliant figure of 4/24 in three overs against the defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders on the home ground. It is too early to take a decision about his performance, but Mumbai has seen a ray of hope as a 23 -year -old Punjab fast bowler.
He dismissed famous batsmen like Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell and became the first Indian to take four wickets on the IPL. The IPL has given a platform to do better performance to young players from time to time, but only a few players have been able to do so continuously. Mayank Yadav suddenly disappeared after impressing everyone at his fast pace. Mi will be hopeful that Ashwini will not keep his performance limited for one match.
The Mi finally performed brilliantly against the KKR in Wankhede, but it was South African keeper-batsman Ryan Ryan Ryan, who chased him a lower score and won him. Rohit and ‘Mr. 360 degree’ Suryakumar Yadav will have to play a big role in a team that does not really bat deeply, but he has a series of slow and fast bowlers who can perform well.
At the same time, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has not really achieved his rhythm after a wicket defeat from Delhi Capitals (DC) in the first match of IPL in Visakhapatnam. West Indies’ Nicholas Puran is in excellent form and is at the forefront of the scoring chart by scoring 189 runs in three matches, including two half -centuries, but his actions have not been able to show impact on other LSG batsmen, except Australian Michel Marsh, who have also scored two half -centuries in this version.
Most of his troubles are due to his bowling by Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi and his charismatic captain Pant’s poor form.
