The recent success of Mumbai Indians can be attributed to their strong batting lineup. Rohit Sharma has returned to form with consecutive half-centuries, while Suryakumar Yadav has been displaying his destructive batting skills.

The team’s batting depth has been further enhanced by contributions from Ryan Rickelton, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, and captain Hardik Pandya.
Mumbai’s bowling department has been particularly impressive, led by Jasprit Bumrah, who recently returned from injury. The bowling unit, including Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, and youngsters Vignesh Puthur and Ashwani Kumar, has played a crucial role in the team’s resurgence.
Lucknow Super Giants have also recovered well after their opening defeat. Their batting strength is evident with Nicholas Pooran (377 runs), Mitchell Marsh (344 runs), and Aiden Markram (328 runs) all featuring in the top 10 of the Orange Cap rankings.
The middle order has been stabilized by Ayush Badoni’s consistent performance of 217 runs in nine matches, supported by David Miller (118 runs) and Abdul Samad (113 runs).
LSG’s only batting concern has been captain Rishabh Pant’s form, with just one half-century of 63 runs against Chennai Super Kings.
