Meanwhile, the Lucknow Super Giants, led by Rishabh Pant, are occupying the sixth rank with five wins and four losses, accumulating 10 points at an NRR of -0.054. They are having a roller-coaster season and would be aiming to attain consistency in the second half of the season.
That said, let’s take a look at the three players to watch out for in the Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants encounter, Match 45.
3 Players to watch out for in the MI vs LSG Match 45
1. Nicholas Pooran
Lucknow Super Giants' explosive batter Nicholas Pooran has been in excellent form in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Though he dominated the run-scoring charts in IPL 2025, he slipped to the third rank in the updated tally after a few poor scores.
Pooran has played nine games this season, amassing 377 runs at an average of 47.12 and a strike rate of 204.89. With four fifty-plus scores, Pooran would be aiming to get back to his best before it gets too late.
2. Hardik Pandya
Mumbai Indians all-rounder and captain Hardik Pandya is our second player to watch out for in the game between the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants. He has been exceptional with the ball so far in the ongoing season.
Though he could score only 104 runs from five innings with the bat, Pandya has scalped 12 wickets with the ball in hand. The all-rounder has been amongst the wickets in almost all the games. However, he would be hoping to put up better scores with the willow.
3. Rohit Sharma
Mumbai Indians opening batter Rohit Sharma, who had an excellent Champions Trophy 2025 season, has been amongst the runs after starting off on a poor note in the ongoing IPL 2025 season.
Rohit has accumulated 228 runs from eight innings at an average of 32.57 and a strike rate of 154.05.
