LSG vs MI Playing 11: Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns against the Mumbai Indians in an important IPL 2025 match on Friday (April 4).

The Paltans secured a very important win in the last match against KKR to get first points on the board. Lucknow, on the other hand, have the same results so far, with just one win in their first three matches. It will be pivotal for either team to win and get two important points on the board.

Historically, LSG has dominated this fixture, winning five out of the six encounters against MI. The Paltans' sole victory came in their most recent meeting, offering them a glimmer of hope to improve their record.

The battle between LSG's spinners and MI's middle order, featuring the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, could be pivotal. Additionally, MI's top-order batsman, Rohit Sharma, will be under pressure to find form after a series of low scores.

LSG vs MI IPL 2025 Team News, Injury Update

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG's pace attack receives a boost with the return of Akash Deep, who has recovered from a back injury sustained in December. He is expected to replace Avesh Khan, who has struggled this season, conceding 75 runs in seven overs with only one wicket.

Apart from that, Rishabh Pant's off-form is another concern for them as the LSG captain has just managed 17 runs so far in first three matches.

Mumbai Indians

MI continues to miss their ace pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, who remains sidelined due to injury and is expected to miss at least the next two games. In his absence, the team has relied on emerging talents like left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur and left-arm pacer Ashwani Kumar. Puthur has claimed four wickets in two matches, while Ashwani took four wickets in his sole appearance.

Will Rohit Sharma be Dropped?

Rohit Sharma has been woeful so far as well for Mumbai Indians. The India captain has just managed 21 runs in the first three matches. Although Rohit's possible axe is on the horizon, the veteran is likely to keep his place for the LSG clash.
