Bumrah has been the game-changer, using his expertise in the death overs to choke opposition momentum when it matters most.
On the other side, Lucknow has been far from ideal. Aiden Markram’s poor form has been a big concern, he’s not been able to make an impact in big moments.
But perhaps the biggest disappointment has been Rishabh Pant’s disastrous season.
His inconsistent performances have made it difficult for Lucknow to find the right balance.
Both need to step up if Lucknow wants to recover in the upcoming matches. With 5 wins on the trot, Mumbai Indians have found their groove. But the big question remains: Can they keep this going?
With their batting depth and deadly bowlers like Bumrah and Boult, MI looks like a complete team that can go all the way. Fans are hoping this is just the beginning of something special.
Mumbai Indians’ comeback has fans on the edge of their seats. At No. 2 in the points table, they’re a team no one can take lightly.And that’s a wrap for Lucknow.
They need to get their underperforming stars back in form ASAP – Markram and Pant. For now, MI – 5 on the trot! Can they keep going?
