MI vs LSG Highlights, IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton fifties power MI to six-wicket win over LSG

Rohit Sharma scored 84 on his return from injury and Ryan Rickelton made 83 as Mumbai Indians beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets in Mumbai in their IPL 2026 match on Monday.

The two openers added 143 runs for the first wicket, their third century stand in the IPL, and set up the chase. Mumbai Indians chased down 229 after LSG had scored 228 for five, finishing at 229 for four in 18.4 overs.

Earlier, Nicholas Pooran scored 63 off 21 balls to lift LSG after a slowdown in the middle overs. He took advantage of loose bowling from MI.

Rohit had missed five matches due to a hamstring injury he picked up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12. He hit seven sixes and six fours in his 44-ball innings, while Rickelton continued his run of form.

Rickelton was dismissed in the 11th over by Mohsin Khan after hitting two sixes. Rohit looked set for a hundred but was caught at short fine leg in the 14th over off Manimaran Siddharth, who finished with 2 for 47.

Tilak Varma scored 11, while stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav made 12 before getting out near the boundary again. Naman Dhir remained not out on 23 and Will Jacks was unbeaten on 10 as MI completed the chase.

Mumbai Indians scored around 50 runs in the first five overs before Rohit attacked in the sixth over, hitting 21 runs off Avesh Khan with a mix of fours and sixes.

Highest targets chased down in IPL
265 - PBKS vs DC, Delhi, 2026
262 - PBKS vs KKR, Kolkata, 2024
246 - SRH vs PBKS, Hyderabad, 2025
244 - SRH vs MI, Wankhede, 2026
229 - SRH vs RR, Jaipur, 2026
229 - MI vs LSG, Wankhede, 2026*

The previous highest target chased by MI was 221 runs against KKR at the same venue earlier this season.


Rickelton also scored freely, starting with a six off Mohsin and playing shots against both pace and spin.

For LSG, Pooran’s 63 off 20 balls helped them post 228 for five. He hit eight sixes and a four. Mitchell Marsh scored 44 off 25 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah went wicketless, conceding 45 runs and overstepping three times. Corbin Bosch took 2 for 20 and slowed LSG in the middle overs when they looked set for more than 240.

Bumrah conceded 21 runs in the fourth over, where Marsh hit him for boundaries. In the powerplay, Pooran attacked Will Jacks with three sixes and later hit two sixes and a four off AM Ghazanfar in the sixth over. LSG reached 90 for one in six overs, which is the joint second-highest powerplay score by a visiting team against MI at this ground.

Pooran, who had not scored a fifty in his last 17 innings, reached his half-century in 16 balls with a six off Deepak Chahar. He and Marsh added 94 runs for the second wicket in 35 balls. At 123 for one after eight overs, LSG were in control.

Bosch then removed both Pooran and Marsh in the same over. LSG slipped from 123 for one to 160 for four in 12 overs. It could have been 160 for five, but Bumrah overstepped when Himmat Singh was caught behind. Himmat stayed not out on 40 and added 68 runs with Aiden Markram, who made 31 not out.

In all readiness to get going in the City of Dreams. It's absolutely buzzing at the Wankhede with a sea of blue to cheer for the home team. There's an odd sprinkling of red for the tourists. The two umpires walk out to the middle. Suryakumar Yadav has his men in a huddle near the ropes. Now, they spread out to take their respective spots. And here's another opening pair for the Super Giants. The two Aussies - Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis - walk out to the crease. Deepak Chahar will bowl the first over. Hasn't been in the best of form lately, but has the ability to get the ball moving early doors. The Bison to take the strike. A slip in place. Here we go!

19:06 (IST) May 04

The skipper of Lucknow Super Giants - Rishabh Pant says they would have bowled first as well, adding that at Wankhede, any target can be chased down. He admits it has been a tough season for them and says the break has brought plenty of reflection on what they can and cannot do, both as a team and as individuals. More importantly, he accepts that they have let their fans down and promises they will give their 200 percent to bring that happiness back and return some love to the fans. He also confirms three changes to the side, with Josh Inglis coming in. Adds that Akshat Raghuwanshi comes in and Mukul Choudhary goes out, while the bowling combination will be decided later.

19:04 (IST) May 04

The stand-in captain for Mumbai Indians - Suryakumar Yadav says that the wicket looks good and it's also a bit humid. In the last couple of games, it has become better to bat on in the second innings, so that's there as well. Adds that Hardik Pandya is unwell so he is filling in his shoes. SKY informs that they have a few changes. Corbin Bosch comes in place of Trent Boult and their very own Rohit Sharma is back, which sent the crowd into frenzy. Surya mentions that they can't hide behind the fact that MI are not known to be in such positions, but it's a game, and they have a lot of pride to play for and have fun out there. He ends by saying that not having any margin for error doesn't really make them dangerous but all they can do is put their best foot forward, try to win as many games as possible and put up a show for the crowd.

MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: Rishabh Pant faces questions over form and leadership
Rishabh Pant finds himself under pressure as both captain and batter. There are questions around his white-ball form, and his leadership decisions have also come under scrutiny. Leading a side that has lost five matches in a row has only added to the challenge. Pant has often been seen as a player who can change games quickly, but this season he has not been able to influence matches consistently. With LSG at the bottom, he now faces the task of trying to turn things around in a short span.

LSG vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: LSG endure slump after promising start
Lucknow Super Giants started their season with a loss but quickly bounced back with two consecutive wins. At that stage, it looked like they were building momentum. However, things changed quickly as they went on to lose five matches in a row. This slump has pushed them to the bottom of the table. Like Mumbai, their problems have largely come from inconsistent batting. Even when their bowlers have done well, the batting has not been able to support those efforts, leading to close games slipping away.

MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: MI’s campaign defined by collective failures
Mumbai Indians’ struggles cannot be pinned on one department alone. The batters have not fired together, and the bowlers have also failed to deliver consistently. Even in games where one department has done well, the other has let the team down. This lack of collective performance has been the biggest reason behind their position on the table. The team has not been able to build momentum at any stage of the tournament, which has resulted in a campaign that never really took off.

IPL Live: Rohit Sharma absence adds to MI troubles
The absence of Rohit Sharma has been a major factor in Mumbai Indians’ campaign. The former skipper has been on a comeback trail after a hamstring injury earlier in the season, and his experience at the top has been missed.

Without him, MI’s batting has lacked stability and direction. The team has not been able to build consistent starts, which has put pressure on the middle order. In a season where several players have struggled, Rohit’s absence has only made it harder for the team to find balance.

IPL Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav struggles to convert starts
Suryakumar Yadav has had a quiet season by his standards, scoring 186 runs so far. The bigger concern is not just the runs but how he has got out. He has often been dismissed while attempting his trademark shots, without converting starts into big scores.

For a batter known for dominating attacks, this has been a visible dip. MI will need him to not just get starts but play longer innings if they are to end the season on a better note.

MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: Hardik Pandya under pressure amid poor returns
Hardik Pandya’s numbers this season tell part of the story — 146 runs and 4 wickets so far. But beyond the stats, his overall impact has come under scrutiny. His captaincy decisions have not always worked, and tactically he has been questioned.

With the bat, he has not been able to play the kind of innings expected from someone in his role, especially with the lower order not as strong as previous seasons. With the ball, his execution has been inconsistent. In a season where MI needed their captain to step up, Pandya’s performances have instead added to the team’s problems.

LSG vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: MI search for answers as playoffs hopes fade
Mumbai Indians come into this game with their campaign nearly over. With just two wins in nine matches, they are placed second from bottom on the points table. The chances of making the playoffs are extremely slim, though not mathematically impossible.

The bigger issue has been how the team has performed as a unit. Batting and bowling have both struggled, and the absence of Rohit Sharma due to a hamstring injury has only made things tougher. The team has not found any consistency, and every game now feels like damage control rather than a push for qualification.

LSG vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Will Bumrah's match-up against LSG top-order work in MI's favour?
Bumrah, who has had a poor tournament with just three wickets at an average of almost 95, would be licking his lips after witnessing a struggling LSG top-order of Mitchell Marsh (212 in eight innings with a fifty), Aiden Markram (193 runs in eight innings with no fifty) and skipper Rishabh Pant (189 in eight innings with one fifty).


As per ESPNCricinfo. Bumrah has a fine match-up against Marsh (28 in 28 balls) and Markram (26 in 29 balls), having dismissed them once each.


Bumrah has also been troublesome to Pant, having dismissed him seven times, while giving away just 55 runs in 46 balls. Also, West Indies left-hander Nicholas Pooran, who is yet to play a fiery knock this season, has scored just 17 in 22 balls against him, getting dismissed twice in T20s, as per ESPNCricinfo.

MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: 'An evening with the God of cricket': Sachin Tendulkar meets LSG players, Mohsin Khan thanks Arjun
It turned into a memorable evening for several Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) players before their IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) as cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar hosted the team for dinner.

Since Sachin’s son, Arjun Tendulkar, is part of the LSG squad, a number of players attended the gathering, including captain Rishabh Pant, pacers Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan and Avesh Khan. Photos from the dinner quickly went viral on social media.


Mohsin Khan later shared pictures from the evening on Instagram and called Sachin the “God of cricket”. He wrote, “An evening with the God of cricket. Blessed!” while also thanking Arjun for arranging the dinner.

IPL Live: LSG’s Purple Cap Race: Promise There, But Leaders Pulling Away
For Lucknow Super Giants, the Purple Cap chart offers more encouragement than their batting returns. Prince Yadav is their leading wicket-taker, placed 6th with 13 wickets from 8 matches, firmly in the top-10 mix. He is just 2 wickets away from breaking into the top 5 (15 wickets) and 4 wickets short of current leader Bhuvneshwar Kumar at 17. Meanwhile, Mohsin Khan has been highly effective in limited appearances, picking up 9 wickets in just 4 matches and sitting 17th—needing 2 more wickets to enter the top 10 (currently 11 wickets).

IPL Live Score: MI’s Purple Cap Push - Ghazanfar in the Mix, Big Leap Needed
In the Purple Cap race, Mumbai Indians have a single contender in the top 20—AM Ghazanfar—who is placed 11th with 11 wickets from 7 matches. He sits just outside the top 10, with the cut-off currently at 11 wickets as well, held by Kartik Tyagi, meaning Ghazanfar is already level and only needs a marginal improvement (better strike rate or an extra wicket) to break into that bracket. To push into the top 5, however, he would need to reach at least 15 wickets—currently the tally of Jofra Archer and Eshan Malinga—which means a minimum of 4 more wickets. At the very top, Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads with 17 wickets, leaving Ghazanfar needing 6 additional wickets to take pole position.

LSG vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: LSG’s Orange Cap Struggle - Marsh Leads but Gap to Top Remains Steep
The Orange Cap race paints a worrying picture for Lucknow Super Giants, who have no representation in the top 20 this season. Their highest run-scorer, Mitchell Marsh, sits all the way down in 27th place with 212 runs. With the current top-10 cut-off at 335 runs (held by Jos Buttler), Marsh would need at least 124 more runs just to break into that bracket.

At the top, Abhishek Sharma leads the standings with 440 runs, meaning Marsh would require a massive 228-run surge to enter the Orange Cap conversation. The numbers underline LSG’s core issue this season—not just inconsistency, but the absence of a dominant run-getter capable of keeping them competitive in high-scoring games.
17:20 (IST) May 04
MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: MI’s Orange Cap Hunt - Rickelton Lone Ranger, Big Climb Needed
From the current Orange Cap standings, Mumbai Indians have only one batter in the top 20—Ryan Rickelton—who is placed 15th with 297 runs from 7 innings. There are no MI players in the top 10 at this stage. To enter the top 10, Rickelton needs to go past Jos Buttler (10th, 335 runs), which means he requires at least 39 more runs.

At the top, Abhishek Sharma leads with 440 runs. For Rickelton to overtake him and claim the Orange Cap, he would need at least 144 additional runs. With no MI presence in the top 10, the franchise’s Orange Cap hopes hinge entirely on Rickelton producing a sustained scoring surge in the games ahead.

IPL Live: MI vs LSG Playoff Equation: One Slip Closer to Elimination as Qualification Race Tightens
The clash between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants is no longer just about two points—it’s about survival in the IPL 2026 playoff race. With the unofficial qualification marker hovering around 14 points, both teams find themselves in a precarious position heading into this fixture.

Mumbai Indians are currently placed ninth with just 4 points from 9 matches (2 wins, 7 losses) and a Net Run Rate of -0.803. Even if MI win all their remaining five games, they can only reach a maximum of 14 points—right on the borderline. That leaves them with zero margin for error. One more defeat would cap their maximum at 12 points, effectively knocking them out of realistic playoff contention.

Lucknow Super Giants are only marginally better placed, sitting tenth with 4 points from 8 matches (2 wins, 6 losses) and a poorer NRR of -1.106. On paper, LSG still have a slightly longer runway, with six matches left and a maximum possible tally of 16 points. However, their five-match losing streak has severely dented momentum, and another loss today would reduce their ceiling to 14 points—putting them in the same do-or-die bracket as MI.

In essence, this encounter is a virtual knockout. For Mumbai Indians, it is already must-win territory with no second chances left. For Lucknow Super Giants, defeat would push them to the edge, where qualification would depend not just on winning out but also on Net Run Rate and other results.

With both teams struggling for consistency and sitting at the bottom end of the table, this game could define the fate of their season. A win keeps faint hopes alive; a loss could all but shut the playoff door.

IPL Live Score: MI IPL 2026 playoff qualification scenarios: Time is running out for Mumbai Indians
MI's run through the season has been a campaign that never found stability. Seven defeats in nine matches and what stands out is the nature of these losses. Several have come from winning positions - including the latest collapse against CSK where they went from a strong platform to a below-par total. The middle order has repeatedly failed to convert starts, and the inability to accelerate in the final overs has hurt them badly.


Their bowling has had moments of control, but the lack of scoreboard pressure has often left them defending sub-par totals. Overall, MI have struggled to put together a complete performance across departments.


Mumbai Indians’ biggest issue this season has not been their bowling or even their starts with the bat, it is what happens after the 10th over.


Time and again, MI have built solid platforms only to lose momentum through clusters of wickets. Against CSK, they were well placed at over 100 in 11 overs, projecting a total beyond 180. Instead, they managed just 159/7. This pattern has repeated across multiple games. MI’s run rate in the middle overs has dipped significantly compared to the powerplay, and their boundary percentage drops sharply after the first 10 overs. More crucially, they have lost wickets in quick succession, turning strong positions into recovery phases.

LSG vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Lucknow Hold Edge Despite Recent Dip from Both Sides
The head-to-head battle between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants has largely tilted in Lucknow’s favour, with LSG winning six of the eight encounters while MI have managed just two victories. Despite that dominance, recent form tells a more balanced—if underwhelming—story for both sides. Over the past year, MI have played 14 matches, winning four and losing ten (28.57% win rate), while LSG have featured in 13 games, securing three wins and suffering ten defeats (23.08% win rate). Individually, Suryakumar Yadav has been MI’s standout performer with 425 runs, supported by AM Ghazanfar’s 11 wickets. For LSG, Mitchell Marsh has led the charge with 495 runs, while Prince Yadav has impressed with 15 wickets, underlining key contributions amid inconsistent team results.


17:00 (IST) May 04
On Saturday evening, Mumbai Indians once again left it on Jasprit Bumrah to try and achieve the near impossible--defend 160 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium against the Chennai Super Kings.

Bumrah bowled his heart out, dismissed the red-hot Sanju Samson, and took 1-20 in three overs. But CSK played him out, attacked from the other end, and won easily.

That has been the case right through this IPL - in nine games, Bumrah has already bowled 33 overs going at a rate of 8.61, when the others have bled runs far more profusely. MI want Bumrah to do the defensive and attacking duties at the same time, and the jaded paceman, who has been playing continuous cricket since the beginning of the T20 World Cup, is struggling to deliver the wickets.

Predictably enough, he is copping some of the blame for the dismal MI performance, who are all but out of contention for a play-off berth. And that brings us to the important question: “Will MI rest him now for the rest of the tournament?” MI coach Mahela Jayawardene didn’t seem to buy the idea at the press meet after the Saturday mauling. “We are not yet out, are we?” Mahela turned to the accompanying media manager, who vigorously nodded to let the coach know that there’s still life left in the campaign.

“It’s too early for me to say any-thing, we still have five more games, anything can happen for us. We just need to finish the tournament positively and see what happens. There’s a lot more cricket to be played, I don’t think mathematically we’re out from the tournament, so I’m going to fight and I’m sure the rest of the boys will do the same as well,” Jayawardene said when asked about resting Bumrah for the rest of the tournament.

Mumbai Indians have not provided any official update on Rohit’s return.

The former skipper, who led the franchise to five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020), has not played since suffering a hamstring injury nearly three weeks ago during a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Rohit retired hurt on 19 in that game and has since missed matches against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings.

MI vs LSG Live Score, IPL 2026: In battle of laggards, Mumbai and Lucknow fight to stay off the bottom
Struggling former champions Mumbai Indians will hope their embattled stars Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav come good in a clash against bottom-ranked Lucknow Super Giants even though the chances of qualifying for the play-offs in this edition of IPL has evaporated for good.

Pandya (146 runs and 4 wickets) and Suryakumar (186) have had forgettable campaigns so far, which has hampered MI’s journey, more so in the absence of former skipper Rohit Sharma, who remains on a comeback trail after a hamstring injury earlier this season.

Only two wins in nine matches have consigned the five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians to the penultimate spot in the points table.

While their hopes to remain in contention for the IPL playoffs are all but over, there still remains an outside chance of qualification.

The five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians and LSG have eerily had a similar run in this edition, grappling with the issue of collective batting failures which has heavily marred their chances of making it to the final four.

LSG skipper Rishabh Pant desperately appealed for a break for his side, which has lost five matches on the trot to slip to the bottom of the points table.

LSG began with a loss in the first match but bounced back with two consecutive wins. But their fortunes plummeted from the point they were expected to take off, as ordinary batting could not be masked by some strong showing by their bowlers collectively.

Even in their last game, Mohsin Khan’s 5/23 for the best bowling figures in the tournament were undone by LSG’s erroneous call to send a struggling Nicholas Pooran in the Super Over.

Skipper Rishabh Pant finds himself at a crossroads with questions being posed on his white-ball game in general.

The maverick Indian wicketkeeper-batter too will face the challenge of turning it around for his side as LSG head into a busy week of having three crucial games in a span of seven days.
Rohit Sharma scored 84 on his return from injury and Ryan Rickelton made 83 as Mumbai Indians beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets in Mumbai in their IPL 2026 match on Monday.

The two openers added 143 runs for the first wicket, their third century stand in the IPL, and set up the chase. Mumbai Indians chased down 229 after LSG had scored 228 for five, finishing at 229 for four in 18.4 overs.

Earlier, Nicholas Pooran scored 63 off 21 balls to lift LSG after a slowdown in the middle overs. He took advantage of loose bowling from MI.

Rohit had missed five matches due to a hamstring injury he picked up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12. He hit seven sixes and six fours in his 44-ball innings, while Rickelton continued his run of form.

Rickelton was dismissed in the 11th over by Mohsin Khan after hitting two sixes. Rohit looked set for a hundred but was caught at short fine leg in the 14th over off Manimaran Siddharth, who finished with 2 for 47.

Tilak Varma scored 11, while stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav made 12 before getting out near the boundary again. Naman Dhir remained not out on 23 and Will Jacks was unbeaten on 10 as MI completed the chase.

Mumbai Indians scored around 50 runs in the first five overs before Rohit attacked in the sixth over, hitting 21 runs off Avesh Khan with a mix of fours and sixes.

The previous highest target chased by MI was 221 runs against KKR at the same venue earlier this season.


Rickelton also scored freely, starting with a six off Mohsin and playing shots against both pace and spin.

For LSG, Pooran’s 63 off 20 balls helped them post 228 for five. He hit eight sixes and a four. Mitchell Marsh scored 44 off 25 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah went wicketless, conceding 45 runs and overstepping three times. Corbin Bosch took 2 for 20 and slowed LSG in the middle overs when they looked set for more than 240.

Bumrah conceded 21 runs in the fourth over, where Marsh hit him for boundaries. In the powerplay, Pooran attacked Will Jacks with three sixes and later hit two sixes and a four off AM Ghazanfar in the sixth over. LSG reached 90 for one in six overs, which is the joint second-highest powerplay score by a visiting team against MI at this ground.

Pooran, who had not scored a fifty in his last 17 innings, reached his half-century in 16 balls with a six off Deepak Chahar. He and Marsh added 94 runs for the second wicket in 35 balls. At 123 for one after eight overs, LSG were in control.

Bosch then removed both Pooran and Marsh in the same over. LSG slipped from 123 for one to 160 for four in 12 overs. It could have been 160 for five, but Bumrah overstepped when Himmat Singh was caught behind. Himmat stayed not out on 40 and added 68 runs with Aiden Markram, who made 31 not out.
