Mumbai Indians (MI) met Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the second time in the ongoing IPL 2022 season, this time at the Wankhede Stadium on April 24, 2022, in the 37th match of the tournament. LSG had defeated MI in their previous encounter by 18 runs.
MI captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first. LSG captain KL Rahul repeated his feat from their last match against MI and scored 103* in 62 balls with 12 fours and 4 sixes to his name. This was Rahul's 4th ton in IPL history.
In reply, Rohit Sharma looked good for his 39 and Tilak Varma made 38, but the rest of the batting capsized against a disciplined LSG bowling as Krunal Pandya returned the figures of 3/19 in 4 overs as MI ended their 20 overs on 132/8 and lost the match by 36 runs.
This is a record 8th loss for MI in the tournament, while LSG moves to the 4th spot in the points table with 5th win in 8 matches.
The cricket fraternity shared their emotions on MI’s 8th consecutive loss on Twitter.
