Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants Have Had Disappointing Starts

Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants have had disappointing starts in the Indian Premier League 2025 season, securing just one win each from their first three matches. MI, under Hardik Pandya, are struggling with an underperforming batting lineup and the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.

On the other hand, Rishabh Pant-led LSG are relying on Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh. Pant has failed to live up to expectations so far, scoring only 17 runs across three matches — including a duck in the season opener. He is the most expensive player in the tournament, with a ₹27 crore price tag.

Rohit Sharma Preparing to Take On Lucknow Super Giants

Mumbai Indians are gearing up to take on Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday, April 4, in IPL 2025. MI registered their first win of the season—an eight-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. LSG will be aiming to bounce back after suffering a heavy loss to the Punjab Kings.

Rohit Sharma has endured a rough start to his IPL 2025 campaign. He has scored just 21 runs across three innings, with scores of 0, 8, and 13 so far.

Rohit hasn’t crossed the 500-run mark in a season since 2013, when he scored 538 runs and led MI to their maiden IPL title. Notably, Rohit was succeeded by Hardik Pandya as MI captain ahead of the 2024 season.

Lucknow Super Giants hold a dominant 5-1 advantage in their head-to-head battles with Mumbai Indians. MI will be keen to turn the tide and improve their record against LSG.
