IPL 2026 MI vs LSG Playing 11: Suryakumar Yadav-led Mumbai Indians will square off against Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants in the 47th match of the IPL 2026 on May 04 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

Both the Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants have had a disappointing campaign in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, as they currently occupy the last two positions in the points table.

The Mumbai Indians have two wins out of nine games, while the Super Giants have two wins out of eight games. The sides have faced each other on 8 occasions, where LSG have 6 wins while the Mumbai Indians have two wins.

Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, Mumbai Indians captain Suryakumar Yadav said, “We will look to bowl first. (Any particular reason?) Nothing, it looks good. It’s a little humid also tonight. There’s no wind. In the second innings, we saw what happened here in the last 2-3 games. So it became a little better. So just want to take advantage and give it to the bowlers.”

“He’s (Hardik) not well tonight, so just going into his shoes. But yeah, the rest, everything is fine.

There’s definitely, Cobin Bosch comes in for Trent Boult and also our very own Rohit Sharma is back. You can’t run away from the fact, to be very honest, Mumbai Indians is not known to be in such positions.”

“But at the end of the day, it’s just a game, part of the game, you have to put your chin up, play the game for why you love it, and put your hands up. Have that pride and enjoy the game.”

(Clearly no margin for errors anymore, right?) “Can’t say it can make us dangerous, but definitely we can try and put our best foot forward.

We have five games left. Try and win as many as possible. Show character, enjoy the game, and give some shows to the crowd,” concluded Suryakumar Yadav.

LSG captain Rishabh Pant said, “We would have done the same. In Wankhede it’s a good wicket to bat on and you can chase any target. It definitely (did), a lot of reflection, what we can do and what we can do as a team and as an individual.”

“One thing we always found out, it’s been a tough season for us and there is no running away from that, but one person for us has the most difficult time was our owner Mr. Goenka, he’s one of that guy.”

“Everyone knows how passionate he is about cricket and about his team. But at the same time we let down our fans down. The only promise is from this break is, we’re gonna give our 200%, try to bring that happiness back and hopefully we can do it for our owner and the fans for sure.”

“Records help but at the same time when you’re clearing your mindset, when you’re free, when you’re raring to go everything comes together. (Changes for you?) We have three changes. Josh Inglis comes in and Mukul goes out and Raghuwanshi is making his debut and bowling will decide later,” concluded Rishabh Pant.
