🔥 The Clash of Titans – What’s the Hype?
On one side, we have the Super Giants of Lucknow led by the comeback king Rishabh Pant, who’s looking to silence the critics and get the squad back on track after a rough loss to Punjab. And on the other? The five-time champs Mumbai Indians, with Hardik Pandya looking cool as ever and a squad that’s just starting to fire on all cylinders. ⚡
Oh, and did we mention Rohit Sharma is back in beast mode? Yeah…MI isn’t here to play nice.
🤜🤛 Head-to-Head: Who’s the Boss?
Lucknow’s actually been MI’s kryptonite lately. Out of their last five encounters:
- LSG won 4 (yes, FOUR! 🧢)
- MI won 1 (but never count out the champs!)
LSG’s last win over MI? A sweet 18-run victory in May 2024. They’ve got the edge, but MI’s hungry for revenge – and they’ve brought the spice this time.
