New Delhi. The team of Mumbai Indians lost after reaching very close to the victory against Lucknow Supergiants. A lot of runs were scored in this match of IPL 2025. Host Lucknow Supergiants scored 203 runs. Mumbai Indians also gave a strong reply to this. Mumbai needed 52 runs in 4 overs to win at one time and Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma were playing at the crease. Hardik Pandya was yet to come. It has never been difficult for Mumbai to win such a match for Mumbai in the batting friendly match, but this time there was something else in the Ekana Stadium. That is why from Suryakumar Yadav to Hardik Pandya made such mistakes which submerged the loot of the entire team.

The match played between Lucknow Supergiants and Mumbai Indians on Friday night kept jerking the fans before it started. Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and gave the first blow that Rohit Sharma is not in the playing XI. However, he was not dropped, but it happened due to injury.

Rishabh Pant flopped again
After losing the toss, he came out to bat first and hit 203 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs against Lucknow Supergiants. That too when Hardik Pandya took 5 wickets from one end. Opener Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram gave Dream to LSG by adding 76 runs in 7 overs. Mitchell Marsh scored 60 runs in 31 balls, while Markram played 53 runs in 38 balls. Rishabh Pant (2) flopped again but Ayush Badoni (30) and David Miller (27) finally played the best innings and brought their team to 200 runs.

Creativity of Surya was heavy
Mumbai Indians chased the target and scored 152 runs for 3 wickets in 16 overs. Suryakumar Yadav was unbeaten after scoring 67 and Tilak Verma 17 runs. Lucknow Supergiants had to get one over with their youngest spinner in the remaining 4 overs. Overall, the victory of Mumbai Indians seemed confirmed. But on the first ball of the 17th over, Suryakumar Yadav's creativity overturned the dice. Avesh Khan's short -off ball was very out of the stump and if Surya had left it, it would have been called wide. But Surya was already sitting in mind that it would scoop it in the fine leg area. He did this too, but the ball was so far from his reach that barely came on the bat and proved to be an easy catch for the fielder Abdul Samad standing on the final leg. This wicket of Surya made a comeback to the match of Lucknow Supergiants, disappointed.

Tilak Verma became the fourth batter to be retired out
Something happened on the 5th ball of the 19th over, which surprised the cricketFanne. After this ball, Tilak Verma was retired out. That is, he left the ground without being out and due to this he was declared out. Obviously, to do so, Captain Hardik Pandya told him who was on the field at that time. In this way Tilak Verma became the fourth batter in IPL history that retired out. However, Mumbai did not get the benefit of this. Tilak Verma scored 25 runs in 23 balls.

Pandya's desire to become Dhoni remained incomplete
In the last over of the match, Mumbai Indians needed 22 runs to win. Pandya hit a six on the first ball of this over of Avesh Khan. He took two runs on the second ball. He could hardly play the third ball towards the square leg. There was no scope for the second run on this ball and this is where Hardik did the work of Dhoni. He returned Mitchell Santner standing at the other end from half the crease. Obviously, he was sure that he himself would win this match or was it sure that Santner would not be able to put big shots. Hardik's trust in himself did not bring color and he could not score a single run on the next ball. In this way, Mumbai got out of the winning race after Hardik playing two dot balls. Now he needed 14 runs in 2 balls which are not made by the mistake of the fielding team. Lucknow Supergiants did not make any such mistake and Mumbai Indians also lost the match by 12 runs by scoring 191 runs for 5 wickets. This is the third defeat of Mumbai Indians in 4 matches in IPL 2025.
