IPL 2025 - LSG vs MI - Player Battles to Watch Out For

After hosting Punjab Kings at home, Lucknow Super Giants are now all set to play their 2nd home game against Mumbai Indians. The LSG vs MI fixture will be the 15th fixture of IPL 2025 that will take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Lucknow Super Giants started their IPL campaign with a loss against Delhi Capitals in the first fixture. However, they recovered immediately and scored a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The onus of the win goes completely to Mumbai’s bowling unit, which dominated the game from the first spell.

IPL 2025 - LSG vs MI - Player Battles

1) Shardul Thakur vs Rohit Sharma

Shardul Thakur has stunned everyone with his performance for the Lucknow Super Giants this year. He came as a replacement for Mohsin Khan and made himself a strong pillar for the team. He is the leading wicket-taker for the team, with 6 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 10.22. The pacer comes in at the initial hours of the game, and his primary target will be Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma. Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma has been a complete failure this year and he has failed to make an impact for the team. He will be facing Shardul Thakur in the opening hours of the game and his motive will be to dominate the game with the bat.

2) Mitchell Marsh vs Trent Boult

Lucknow Super Giants are largely dependent on Mitchell Marsh at the start of every game to score the majority of the runs. As of now, Mitchell Marsh has collected 124 runs in 3 matches at an average of 41.33 with a strike rate of 182.35. He will come face to face against New Zealand’s Trent Boult on Friday, and the face-off between the two will be the highlight of the day. Even though Trent Boult is one of the ferocious pacers in the world, he is yet to scalp the wicket of Mitchell Marsh.

3) Rishabh Pant vs Mitchell Santner

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant has yet to make an impact in the league. He has yet to score a big number, and considering his potential in T20 cricket, Pant can come out as a dangerous batter on any given day. Coming in at number 4, Rishabh Pant will come face to face with Mitchell Santner, who is known for his spin bowling. Mumbai Indians are largely dependent on Mitchell Santner for spin attack during the middle overs, and his primary target will be the vulnerable Rishabh Pant.
