Ishan Kishan (wk)
Kishan Kishan could return to national selection after an outstanding home performance against Mumbai Indians last season. After being dropped from Indian T20I side due to missing Ranji Trophy games last season, his century against them could put him back into consideration for national selection.
Kishan reached across his stumps and hit this full toss from wide outside off for four runs over square-leg. Ayush Badoni ran forward point to take one single off the next ball.
Kishan had been overlooked for Test cricket since making his debut against West Indies in 2023; however, in Jharkhand’s Buchi Babu tournament and scored an amazing century off 86 balls on Friday! His innings included back-to-back sixes to bring up his hundred in style after an injury-ridden domestic campaign; additionally Kishan made some smart saves during his opening spell that brought much delight from spectators and teammates alike.
Nehal Wadhera (c)
Mumbai were never really in contention in this match despite some impressive batting from Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green, and were ultimately bowled out for 196 runs after suffering multiple wickets during middle overs and failing to score.
KL Rahul gave special credit to their bowlers for keeping them in the game and noted they would have found it more difficult if they had set a higher target. He also applauded Nicholas Pooran and Krunal Pandya’s brilliant batting performances during this match.
Mohit Sharma to Nehal Wadhera: When Fadhera looks to play this finely, but ends up lobbing it towards cover for one, Neman Dhir seals Gujarat’s win with an incredible six off the last ball to secure their fifth victory of the season compared with MI’s four consecutive losses and remain at the bottom half of points table.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav (more commonly referred to by his nickname ‘SKY’) has proven himself an important contributor in India’s T20 International team with his aggressive yet innovative batting style, earning himself recognition worldwide. Born and bred in Mumbai, Suryakumar has established himself as an aggressive yet innovative middle-order batsman who consistently finds success against competition in T20 internationals.
India are in control of their run chase thanks to SKY’s stunning 62* in just 28 balls which has put them ahead in their chase for runs. He scored his 62 off just 28 deliveries, hitting four fours before dispatching Sean Abbott’s last delivery for six – giving India 54/2 after five overs.
Hardik Pandya delivers a wide yorker outside the tramline on off, which Nicholas Pooran attempts to hit with force but misses and signals wide as umpire signals WIDE. Ishan Kishan has scored 50 runs off 38 deliveries.
Devdutt Padikkal

Arshad Khan
After an initially slow start, Mumbai Indians’ batsmen managed to post an impressive total. Tim David’s aggressive hitting in the final overs and Nehal Wadhera’s measured approach during middle overs were instrumental in stabilizing their innings and building an impressive total.
But LSG kept their nerves intact and chased down the target with one over remaining, thanks to Nicholas Pooran’s brilliant half-century and KL Rahul’s steady performance throughout, even though neither scored big scores. Although they suffered defeat, they still hold out hope of qualifying for playoffs by depending on other teams’ results and winning their last game while hoping other teams also lose; just one victory will put them into top four!
Ravi Bishnoi
Mumbai Indians should take heart from being able to contain LSG’s powerful batting line-up and prevent them from running away with the game. Furthermore, Nuwan Thushara and Piyush Chawla were instrumental in ensuring they didn’t take control of proceedings in later stages.
KL Rahul of LSG was extremely pleased with his team’s performance. He believes that their outstanding bowling performance, as well as Nicholas Pooran and Krunal Pandya’s smart batting enabled them to reach their target of 214 runs with four balls left in hand.
He believes the team has a diverse roster and are capable of competing with top sides in the league. On Mayank Yadav’s injury, he expressed disappointment but added that they must focus on facing Delhi Capitals next game and move on quickly from their loss. Marcus Stoinis was noted as having made an outstanding contribution towards winning that match.

Mohsin Khan
Mohsin Khan, best known as Kartik from the popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is an ardent follower of Shah Rukh Khan and avid traveller who likes trying out different cuisines whenever possible.
He can be quite shy, and has difficulty communicating with girls. But he loves sports and specifically cricket as an outlet.
Mohsin has incredible promise and, with proper guidance and training, could become a pivotal player for his side in future matches. His skiddy pace makes him difficult for batsmen to judge; thus resulting in regular wickets being taken off him. Now Mohsin will look to build on his performance and establish himself in the Indian T20 League; with every victory under their belts they hope to add more wickets over time so their side can progress further into competition. With their latest win, Lucknow Super Giants move up into third position while Mumbai Indians’ playoff chances appear all but over.
