Mumbai Indians (MI) posted a massive score of 215 on the board in their IPL 2025 game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The foundation was led by Ryan Rickelton who scored 58 runs from 32 balls before Suryakumar Yadav’s blistering knock helped the home team continue the momentum.
Naman Dhir and debutant Corbin Bosch came to the party in the 19th over as they smashed Digvesh Rathi to all parts of the ground. Rishabh Pant had held back his key bowler for the penultimate over of the innings. Bosch, reverse swept the first ball of the over for four runs. The South African then gave Dhir the strike who hit the ball deep into the stand for a huge six before turning the strike over.
In the fifth ball of the 19th over, Rathi bowled a googly that Bosch spotted early played a slog sweep into the mid-wicket region for six. 19 runs came off the over as Rathi ended the day with figures of 1/48 from his four overs. This was Rathi’s most expensive spell since making his IPL debut this year.
Avesh Khan was tasked with the job of bowling the final over which saw MI score 13 runs from the over. The first two balls of the over produced just two singles. Corbin Bosch then hit the Indian pacer for a boundary over cover region. Khan had the last laugh when he had Bosch caught by Pooran for 20 off 10 balls. In the final ball of the innings, Naman Dhir scooped the bowler for a six to take MI to a huge score on the board.
Suryakumar Yadav takes the orange cap with splendid fifty
India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav scored 54 off 28 balls with four boundaries and four sixes in his knock. During the course of his innings, Yadav also went past the 4000 run mark in the IPL. This innings also helped the 34-year-old become the leading run getter of the tournament.
Speaking at the mid-innings break Yadav said “It's the first time I am wearing this Orange cap after a long time, feels really special. I was really happy when we lost the toss, because it is really hot out there but scoring 200-plus it is really good from a batting point of view. It's a good score and I feel the wicket is a little slow and I feel it is going to be challenging out there for their batting line-up, let's see how it goes”
