Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, we had registered a commanding victory over MI in the previous meeting in IPL 2025 at our fortress, the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Twin fifties from Mitchell Marsh (60), Aiden Markram (53), along with contributions from Ayush Badoni (30) and David Miller (27) powered us to 203/8 in 20 overs.
Later, an impressive all-round bowling performance helped us restrict the MI batting line-up to 191/5 in their allotted overs in Lucknow.
Digvesh Rathi, Avesh Khan, Shardul, Thakur and Akash Deep picked up one wicket each to guide us to a comfortable win at our home.
Despite a defeat in our last game, we have 10 points from nine matches and will look to bag two crucial points against MI to remain in contention to finish in the top four.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Pooran has been our leading run-scorer in IPL 2025. Our flamboyant southpaw has already amassed 377 runs in nine matches at an average of 47.13 and a strike rate of 204.89.
