LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 Live Score: Speaking after winning the toss, MI skipper Hardik said, “We are gonna bowl first. Looks like a fresh wicket. Not sure how it is going to play. Looks a decent track. Dew might come in later. Thought better to chase. I think we in a group have spoken that we don’t want to talk about the wickets. We are here to play good cricket. That’s the talk we have. Let’s not talk about the surfaces. I think adaptation. Sticking to right plans and being smart. Lot of runs are being scored. Cricket is situation based. Rohit was hit on the knee. He is missing out. Jasprit should be back soon.”
Meanwhile, LSG captain Pant said, “I think we are pretty confident as a batting unit. A very strong unit. Few of our players haven’t come off including me. We had talked to play in this fashion throughout the tournament. The general discussion is to go our there and express yourself. We haven’t talked about target we want to achieve. Just play the ball and watch the ball and react. I think we are pretty confident. The way I have set up myself. Once we get a start, we will capitalize. Just one change for us. Akash Deep comes in for Siddharth.”

LSG vs MI, IPL 2025 Live Score: After Ashwani Kumar single-handedly won MI’s previous match, skipper Hardik Pandya had a word of warning for him.
“Be well prepared. Put in all your effort and stick to the plan. Look forward to every game you play. Before every match, I don’t go in with expectations. I just try to execute my preparations. Tujhe success kyu mila? (Why did you get success?) Because you stuck to your plans and kept bowling at the right line and length. You just follow your plan and the rest will follow. Even if you bowl well, you can’t guarantee a good result. But you should know that you bowled well. What more can I do? So you have to maintain a balance. You neither have to go up nor come down. You have to stay in the middle,” he said.

In the middle overs, which is his usual strength, he has bowled eight overs this season, conceding 12.25 per over, which is the next highest to any player to have bowled at least that many overs during that phase, which is Ravindra Jadeja, who has 8.32. The India international will look to bounce back!

As a former player and now part of coaching management, you want to be able to prepare for any eventuality and you try to control things that you can control. The nature of the surfaces is something that we can’t control as a management and as a playing group, so whatever is presented, that’s how you get to be called world-class and legends, that you are able to adapt to anything that is in front of you.”
Apr 4, 2025 4:28 PM IST

In Lucknow, the stadium isn’t meant for 200-plus scores usually. There has been only one total above 200 since it began hosting IPL fixtures. They are expected to change their playing XI tonight and Akash Deep could be added to the squad.
