The MI versus LSG match will take place in Lucknow on April 4.
A wholesome moment featuring Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant went viral on the eve of their IPL 2025 face-off at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
A video uploaded by MI on social media showed Pant surprising Rohit by hugging him from behind while he was seen having a chat with LSG mentor Zaheer Khan.
The clip took the internet by storm, capturing the healthy relationship between the two Indian cricket stars.
In the video, Rohit can be heard saying, "Jo karna tha, maine kiya barabar. Abhi mereko koi karne ki jarurat nahi hai," before Pant playfully interrupted him with a cheerful "Haanji!"
LSG also shared the lighthearted moment between Pant and Rohit on their social media platforms.
The LSG versus MI fixture is a crucial one, with both teams struggling to find consistency after winning just one of their first three games.
While the Super Giants are leading the head-to-head record by 5-1, the five-time champions will be keen to shift momentum when they come up against each other on Friday (April 4).
