<p>"As it was his&nbsp;team's&nbsp;second offence of the season under the&nbsp;IPL's&nbsp;Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences,&nbsp;Pandya was fined INR 24 Lac.&nbsp;The&nbsp;rest of the&nbsp;members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined&nbsp;either&nbsp;INR 6 Lac or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser,"&nbsp;BCCI added.</p>

<p>The MI skipper&nbsp;was first fined&nbsp;on April 18 when his side beat Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.</p>

<p>LSG bowling coach Morne Morkel confirmed the news, saying Mayank passed all the fitness tests.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>MI reach Qualifier 2</strong></h2>

<p>Asked to chase 183 runs, LSG lost wickets on a consistent basis and looked like a shadow of themselves&nbsp;in the Eliminator clash. Kyle Mayers (18) and Prerak Mankad (3) failed to give a good start to the designated home team and were back in the pavilion before the end of the powerplay. However, a titanic collapse followed for LSG as Akash Madhwal ended with figures of 5/5 in 3.3 overs to break the back of the opposition.</p>

<p>Interestingly, the lack of communication was the feature of the LSG innings as there were three run outs. Chris Jordan and Piyush Chawla were also on the wickets charts as they helped MI get one better of LSG to book a date with GT in Qualifier 2. LSG quickly went from 69/2 to 101 all out and lost eight wickets in the span of 32 runs.</p>

IPL Eliminator: MI book Q2 berth after stunning one-sided win over LSG; to face GT on Friday

<p>On Wednesday (May 24), the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lost to five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) by a whopping 81-run margin in IPL 2023's Eliminator as Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. proceeded to Qualifier 2, where they will face defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) on Friday (May 26). Krunal Pandya-led LSG stunned one and all by dropping star opener Quinton de Kock as they preferred Kyle Mayers in the playing XI.</p>

<p>After LSG's second successive loss in the Eliminator, they lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2022's knockout tie, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag slammed the Andy Flower-led team management's tactics and said 'they shot themselves in the foot' by dropping de Kock. While talking to Cricbuzz, Sehwag said, "Even I have a good record in Chennai as I hit 319. But it doesn't mean that even today I will go out there and score. The current form also matters and I feel Lucknow shot themselves in their own foot (by dropping De Kock)."</p>

<h2><strong>KRUNAL PANDYA DEFENDS DE KOCK's OMISSION</strong></h2>

<p>At the post-match presentation, stand-in captain Krunal said, "It's always a tough decision to drop Quinton, he is a world-class batter, Kyle had a good record here so we thought of playing him for today. Their batters played the fast bowlers pretty well so I just thought we could do something new [on starting with the spinners]."</p>

<p>In their second season, Lucknow managed to enter the playoffs as the third-ranked side but once again failed to clear the Eliminator round. Being asked to bowl first, LSG rode on Naveen-ul-Haq's four-fer and Yash Thakur's 3 for 34 as MI made 182-8 riding on contributions from Cameron Green (41), Suryakumar Yadav (33) and Nehal Wadhera's 12-ball 23*.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In reply, LSG only managed a paltry 101 in 16.3 overs with Akash Madhwal returning with 5 for 5 in 3.3 overs.

'They shot themselves in the foot by dropping De Kock': Sehwag on LSG's tactics after Eliminator loss

<p>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secured a narrow five-run against Mumbai Indians (MI) to keep their top-two hopes alive in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday, May 16. The win sees LSG go on 15 points while the defeat for MI also means the likes of Rajasthan Royals (RR), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) can still make the playoff mathematically.</p>

<h2><strong>MI miss out to cement top two berth</strong></h2>

<p>Tasked to chase 178, MI made a definitive start and looked on course to seal the match before losing their way. Openers Rohit Sharma (37) and Ishan Kishan (59) set the platform for the visitors before they lost both of them. They put together an opening wicket stand of 90 runs while Suryakumar Yadav (7) and Nehal Wadhera (16) soon followed to make the situation vulnerable for MI.</p>

<p>In the final over with 11 needed, Mohsin Khan held his nerves and put the opposition in bay and sealed a famous win for LSG that took them level with Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Yash Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi both ended with two wickets each while Mohsin Khan scalped a wicket as well for LSG.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened in LSG innings?</strong></h2>

<p>Marcus Stonis' 89 (47)* powered Lucknow Super Giants to 177/3 in 20 overs against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match here.</p>

<p>MI started the game on a strong note as Jason Behrendorff provided the visitors with an ideal start by picking up two wickets in two balls in the third over. He dismissed the out-of-form batter Deepak Hooda on 5(7).</p>

<p>MI bounced back as Piyush Chawla came back into the attack and dismissed left-handed batter Quinton de Kock on 16(15). From that moment Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya built a partnership slowly taking the game into the final overs. As the unbeaten partnership reached the 82-run mark, LSG skipper Krunal Pandya went out following an injury.</p>

<p>Stoinis didn't take his foot off the accelerator as he sent the ball flying into the stands on the final ball of the innings to take LSG's score to 177/3 in 20 overs.</p>

<p>MI will now end the season at home against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday, May 21 and will need a win to keep their playoff berth intact. On the flip side, LSG will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens and will look to book their berth in the top two to stand multiple chances of making the final on May 28 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.</p>

IPL 2023: LSG secure narrow win to keep top-two hopes alive, beat MI by five runs

<p>Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) lost to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by five runs as they failed to chase down a 178-run target in match 63 of the IPL 2023 edition on Tuesday (May 17), in Lucknow. Opting to bowl first, MI had reduced LSG to 35 for 3 before Marcus Stoinis' 47-ball 83* helped his side post a competitive 177 for 3. In reply, Rohit-Ishan Kishan's 90-run opening stand led to Mumbai's strong start before they lost the plot in the second half of their run-chase to lose by five runs, managing only 172 for 5.</p>

<p>During MI's opening stand, Rohit started on a positive note. He looked in his elements and smacked few biggies. He welcomed LSG's impact substitute Yash Thakur, in the fourth over, with a huge six courtesy of his trademark pull. Here's the video of Rohit dancing down the track to smash a huge six towards deep mid-wicket -</p>

IPL 2023: Rohit Sharma dances down the track, smacks a huge SIX in LSG vs MI clash - Watch

<p>Match 63 of the IPL 2023 edition saw the Krunal Pandya-led Lucknow Supr Giants (LSG) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by five runs in a crucial clash with the race for the playoffs getting intense with each passing game. Lucknow, who were asked to bat first, were off to a poor start as they were reduced to 12 for 2, and further to 35 for 3, before Aussie all-rounder Marcus Stoinis blasted an impressive 47-ball 89 not out to take his side to a competitive 177 for 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In reply, Rohit Sharma-led MI franchise were scoring briskly and their openers Ishan Kishan (59) and Hitman (37) added 90 runs for the first wicket before LSG bowlers -- spinners Ravi Bishnoi (2 for 26) and skipper Krunal (1 for 27) -- put a brake on the scoring rate and twin strikes from Yash Thakur and a brilliant last over from Mohsin Khan enabled LSG to a stunning five-run win in Lucknow.</p>

<p>During the game, Stoinis entertained the Lucknow fans with his big hits and even got a standing ovation from LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir for his onslaught versus the five-time champions. He tore apart Chris Jordan as he slammed the English pacer for 24 runs -- with three fours and two sixes -- to light up the atmosphere and earn applause from the LSG dugout.<br />

He hasn't played here from a long time, a big moment for Mohsin, especially bowling the final over after being injured. It was very close, there are a lot of things not going your way. A couple of good overs from the spinners and Mohsin sealed it for us. We have shown that we are a real team, there no real superstars, there are different people stepping up and performing for us.

Match 63 of the IPL 2023 edition saw the Krunal Pandya-led Lucknow Supr Giants (LSG) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by five runs in a crucial clash with the race for the playoffs getting intense with each passing game.

Match 63 of the IPL 2023 edition saw the Krunal Pandya-led Lucknow Supr Giants (LSG) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by five runs in a crucial clash with the race for the playoffs getting intense with each passing game. Lucknow, who were asked to bat first, were off to a poor start as they were reduced to 12 for 2, and further to 35 for 3, before Aussie all-rounder Marcus Stoinis blasted an impressive 47-ball 89 not out to take his side to a competitive 177 for 3. In reply, Rohit Sharma-led MI franchise were scoring briskly and their openers Ishan Kishan (59) and Hitman (37) added 90 runs for the first wicket before LSG bowlers -- spinners Ravi Bishnoi (2 for 26) and skipper Krunal (1 for 27) -- put a brake on the scoring rate and twin strikes from Yash Thakur and a brilliant last over from Mohsin Khan enabled LSG to a stunning five-run win in Lucknow. During the game, Stoinis entertained the Lucknow fans with his big hits and even got a standing ovation from LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir for his onslaught versus the five-time champions. He tore apart Chris Jordan as he slammed the English pacer for 24 runs -- with three fours and two sixes -- to light up the atmosphere and earn applause from the LSG dugout.

He hasn't played here from a long time, a big moment for Mohsin, especially bowling the final over after being injured. It was very close, there are a lot of things not going your way. A couple of good overs from the spinners and Mohsin sealed it for us. We have shown that we are a real team, there no real superstars, there are different people stepping up and performing for us. We are missing KL (Rahul), but we have KP (Krunal) leading us, and Andy (Flower) has a really good cricket brain." LSG occupy the third spot in the points table with 15 points from 13 games and will hope to ensure a top-two finish with a win in their remaining league game.

IPL 2023: Marcus Stoinis gets standing ovation from LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir during onslaught vs MI - Watch

<p>Mumbai Indians (MI) are yet to get off the mark in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as they continue to endure a forgetful campaign this year. Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. have lost their first eight matches in a row in what has been a disastrous start for the five-time champions.</p>

<p>Mumbai Indians slipped to their eighth successive defeat in their last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI failed to chase down the target of 169 runs as they were restricted to 132/8 in 20 overs by the LSG bowlers, who produced an excellent combined effort.</p>

<p>Krunal Pandya was the pick of the bowlers for LSG as he picked up a three-wicket haul in the game, including the prized scalp of Kieron Pollard. Krunal stole the show with his performance but his unique send-off for Pollard became one of the talking points of the game.</p>

<p>After dismissing him, Krunal jumped on Pollard's back and gave his former Mumbai Indians teammate a kiss on his head. The duo, who share a great bond off the pitch, often enjoy on-field banter with each other. Pollard recently took to Instagram to react to Krunal's unique send-off.</p>

<p>"@krunalpandya_official welcome to the collection of wkts… you know how serious I am with my bowling. In the end it was 1-1. #myboy . #greatfriendship #camaraderie . All good fun," wrote the Mumbai Indians star in an Instagram post.</p>

'In the end it was 1-1': Kieron Pollard reacts to Krunal Pandya's unique send-off for him in MI vs LSG clash

<p>Former India wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel has slammed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Krunal Pandya for his 'over the top' send-off to Mumbai Indians (MI) star Kieron Pollard in the clash between the two sides in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday.</p>

<p>LSG defeated Mumbai Indians comprehensively by 36 runs at the Wankhede Stadium to extend Rohit Sharma &amp; Co's winless streak to eight matches this season. Mumbai Indians failed to chase down the target of 169 runs against LSG as their batting line-up faltered once again with Pandya starring with a three-wicket haul for the KL Rahul-led side.</p>

<p>While he bowled a brilliant spell, Pandya caught everyone's attention when he gave a unique send-off to Pollard after dismissing his ex-Mumbai Indians teammate in the game. Krunal went on to jump on Pollard from the back and gave him a kiss on his helmet as the Mumbai Indians all-rounder departed in the 20th over of his side's run-chase.</p>

<p>While Pollard didn't react to the send-off from Pandya, former Team India and Mumbai Indians star Parthiv lashed out at Krunal for going overboard with his celebration. While Patel insisted Pandya and Pollard are good friends off the field, the LSG all-rounder should not have avoided the send-off given MI's woeful performances this season.</p>

<p>“Krunal and Pollard are very good friends, but things are different on the field. Pollard has not been scoring runs. Also, Mumbai have also been on a losing spree. It’s important to give people space at that point. In the dressing room, you can have as much banter as you want for the whole year. But, I feel this reaction was over the top,” Parthiv said on <em>Cricbuzz</em>.</p>

<p>Asked to chase 169 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, many had thought MI would bring an end to their losing streak and bag their first win against LSG this season. They also got off to a good start with a 49-run stand for the first wicket between skipper Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan before Kishan's departure triggered a collapse.</p>

<p>Pollard batted till the final over of the game but failed to take his side home as he could only manage 20 off 19 balls and was dismissed on the first ball of the 20th over. Mumbai Indians have now lost eight games in a row this season and are the only team yet to get off the mark.</p>

They also got off to a good start with a 49-run stand for the first wicket between skipper Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan before Kishan's departure triggered a collapse. Pollard batted till the final over of the game but failed to take his side home as he could only manage 20 off 19 balls and was dismissed on the first ball of the 20th over. Mumbai Indians have now lost eight games in a row this season and are the only team yet to get off the mark.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and squads

<p>Mumbai Indians (MI) have recorded the worst start to a season by any team in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) this season. Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. have lost their first seven matches in a row in the ongoing IPL 2022 and are desperately looking to get off the mark this season.</p>

<p>MI will be aiming for their first win of the season when they lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (April 24). The two teams have had contrasting starts to their campaign. While MI are winless so far, Lucknow Super Giants have four wins in seven games in their debut campaign in the IPL.</p>

<p>Mumbai Indians have struggled with both bat and the ball so far this season. While openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have struggled to get their team off to good starts, the middle-order has failed to take the team over the line in crucial run chases. Their bowling attack has also lacked venom as Jasprit Bumrah has almost single-handedly carried the pace attack, while the lack of a wicket-taking spinner has cost them games.</p>

<p>Lucknow Super Giants are currently sitting at the fifth spot on the points table with eight points from seven matches so far this season. KL Rahul &amp; Co. are heading into the game on the back of an 18-run loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last outing. They will be keen to bounce back to winning ways to ensure they can reach the top half of the table.</p>

<p>LSG's middle-order has also failed to fire as a unit but with the likes of Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis and Ayush Badoni in their ranks, Rahul &amp; Co. possess the firepower to hurt the best of the teams in the competition.

LSG vs MI, IPL 2022 today match prediction: Who will win Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians clash?

<p>Skipper KL Rahul led from the front with a captain's knock as he powered Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to a comfortable 18-run win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday (April 16). Rahul notched up his first century of the season as he played a terrific knock of unbeaten 103 runs off 60 balls to help his side post a big total of 199 runs on the board.</p>

<p>Asked to bat first, Rahul finally managed to find his rhythm this season as he got LSG off to a flyer. The stylish right-hander combined with his opening partner Quinton de Kock (24) to add 52 runs for the first wicket before posting another brilliant stand of 66 runs for the second wicket with Manish Pandey who played a crucial knock of 38 runs.</p>

<p>Rahul stayed unbeaten till the end and took Lucknow Super Giants closer to the 200-run mark. His 60-ball 103 was laced with nine fours and five sixes as the LSG skipper bounced back in style after being dismissed for a duck in his side's last outing against Rajasthan Royals.</p>

<p>After posting a strong total on the board, Lucknow Super Giants bowlers were right on the money as they managed to restrict a struggling Mumbai Indians batting line-up on 181/9 in 20 overs.</p>

<p>Skipper Rohit Sharma's lean patch continued as he was dismissed cheaply on 6 off 7 balls by Avesh Khan in the 3rd over of MI's run chase. Dewald Brevis then played some sensational stroked en route to his quickfire 31 off 13 balls and added 31 runs for the second wicket with Ishan Kishan before the duo was dismissed in quick succession.</p>

<p>Suryakumar Yadav was MI's biggest hope after the top-order faltered but he could only manage 37 off 27 balls and was well supported by Tilak Varma, who scored 25 off 14 balls to add 64 runs for the third wicket. However, MI's innings was derailed after the duo's dismissal as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and fell short by 18 runs in the run chase.</p>

<p>Avesh Khan continued his impressive run with the ball for Lucknow Super Giants and bowled an exceptional spell of 3/30 off his four overs. The likes of Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi and Marcus Stoinis all picked up a wicket apiece as Mumbai Indians were handed their sixth defeat in a row.</p>

<p>Mumbai Indians are yet to bag their first win this season as they have now lost as many as six matches in a row and are virtually out of the race for the playoffs with ten teams in contention. This is the first time in IPL history that MI have lost six games in a row at the start of the season - which is the joint-most by any team.

<p>A lot has gone wrong for Mumbai Indians (MI) so far in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as the Rohit Sharma-led side continues searching for their first win of the season. Mumbai Indians are no strangers to making slow starts but they have struggled for consistency so far this year and will be hoping to open their account when they lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants in match no. 26 on Saturday.</p>

<p>Mumbai Indians have lacked balance in their squad and have failed to nail their ideal combination in the playing XI. While their batters have failed to fire as a unit, the bowlers have been far from the best. The likes of Tymal Mills, Daniel Sams and Basil Thampi among others have not managed to pick wickets at regular intervals.</p>

<p>With the bat, skipper Rohit Sharma and star all-rounder Kieron Pollard's form has been disappointing. All-rounder Tim David, who they went big for at the mega auction this year, has also failed to impress and was dropped after the first few matches. Mumbai Indians will be up against a balanced Lucknow side, who have been enjoying a great run in their debut campaign.</p>

<p>Lucknow Super Giants have so far managed three wins and two losses in their first five matches and have got the likes of Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis back to further strengthen their playing XI. Both Stoinis and Holder can contribute with the bat and the ball and are expected to play a key role for the KL Rahul-led side.</p>

Mumbai Indians will be up against a balanced Lucknow side, who have been enjoying a great run in their debut campaign. Lucknow Super Giants have so far managed three wins and two losses in their first five matches and have got the likes of Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis back to further strengthen their playing XI. Both Stoinis and Holder can contribute with the bat and the ball and are expected to play a key role for the KL Rahul-led side.
