Of Lucknow Pitch report
This pitch plays very slow. Spinners get more help here. The batsmen are often seen struggling on this pitch. Actually, this ground is quite big and the ball comes directly on the bat. The 200 runs cannot be easily crossed on this ground. In such a situation, there is hardly a big score on Ekana in this IPL. If the fast bowlers did not take wickets in the beginning, then it can be difficult for them to achieve success. However, if the fast bowler mixes in bowling instead of just focusing on speed, then taking wickets here can be beneficial. This pitch helps batsmen a lot at the beginning of the first innings, where it is easier to play heavy shots in the initial over on the pitch.

Mumbai Indians (Mi), captained by Hardik Pandya, does not want to repeat the shameful performance as the last time, but the flaws that are seen in his playing XI is the reason why he has lost the first two matches in IPL 2025.

The exit of Jasprit Bumrah is getting too much for the team, in the absence of which fast bowlers were not able to show the tret bolt as he used to do for Rajasthan Royals. Apart from this, no one understands the decision to take Vignesh Puthur out of the playing XI.
