At the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 27, the Mumbai Indians defeated the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 54 runs in Match 45 of the IPL 2025.
Digvesh Rathi’s 19-run over at the conclusion of the powerplay helped the hosts reach 66/1, but Rohit Sharma (12 off 5) was out very early in the innings. With his half-century (58 off 32), Ryan Rickelton gave MI a strong foundation. Both Hardik Pandya (5 off 7) and Tilak Varma (6 off 5) fell cheaply. The important 54 off 28 from Suryakumar Yadav helped MI reach 215 at the end with a seven-wicket loss. Corbin Bosch’s (20 off 10) and Naman Dhir’s (25* off 11) contributions were also very important.
Jasprit Bumrah responded by dismissing Aiden Markram, who was in excellent form, for nine off eleven after striking early. Nicholas Pooran appeared to be in excellent form as he hit three maximums off the bowling of Deepak Chahar. But in his opening over, Will Jacks rocked LSG. Rishabh Pant (four off two) and Pooran (27 off 15) were both removed by the batting all-rounder. LSG reached 103/3 after 20 overs. LSG was permanently damaged by Bumrah’s triple-wicket over. The fast bowling leader ended with 4/22. The last delivery of the innings saw LSG knocked out for 161.
Key Moments from MI vs LSG, Match 45 of IPL 2025
1. Suryakumar’s bat breathes fire on scorching Mumbai afternoon
MI’s vice-captain turned up the tempo with the bat with some classical boundaries. Two of his four sixes which impressed the most were his shots over deep mid-wicket and deep square leg off Ravi Bishnoi and Prince Yadav.
Lights, camera, SIXES! 💪
Surya Kumar Yadav is lighting up Wankhede in his own classical way 💙

2. Suryakumar dismisses Pooran with commendable effort in outfield
Pooran looked in the zone after clobbering Chahar for three sixes in the final over of the powerplay. However, an excellently judged catch by Suryakumar in the deep brought about the downfall of Pooran.
💥 BIG WICKET 💥

3. Bumrah’s brilliance sends LSG off course
Bumrah’s four-over spell was split across two sections. He was really effective throughout the LSG innings. A total of 14 dots were bowled by him in addition to some brilliantly executed yorkers.
Just Bumrah things 🤷
A yorker masterclass from Jasprit Bumrah rattled the #LSG batters 👊
