NEW DELHI : Five-times champions Mumbai Indians thrashed Lucknow Super Giants by 81 runs on Wednesday to eliminate them from the Indian Premier League (IPL) and keep alive their own hopes of making the final.
Little known Uttarakhand engineer Akash Madhwal bowled a dream spell as his five-wicket haul took five-time champions Mumbai Indians one step closer to summit clash after thrashing Lucknow Super Giants by 81 runs in IPL Eliminator, on Wednesday. Mumbai Indians scored 182 for 8 in 20 overs and it seemed 15 short given explosive batting firepower of Lucknow but Madhwal's incredible figures of 3.3-0-5-5 and some terrific ground fielding led by skipper Rohit Sharma saw Gautam Gambhir mentored side crumble for a paltry 101 in 16.3 overs. There were three run-outs in what turned out to be a forgettable evening for the Sanjiv Goenka owned franchise.
It was the Akash Madhwal show at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday as the young fast bowler picked up five wickets to guide Mumbai Indians to victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 Eliminator. The figures of 5/5 in 3.3 overs was enough to put him in an elite list comprising of massive names like Anil Kumble and Jasprit Bumrah. However, just four years ago, Madhwal was playing tennis ball cricket and had never touched a red ball.
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are facing Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2023 Eliminator in Chennai on Wednesday. The winner of the match will face defending champions Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 for a place in the final. The MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings have already sealed a berth in the title clash. Much was expected from MI captain Rohit Sharma in the Eliminator. However, Rohit fell for just 11 in the fourth over off LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq. Against a length ball, Rohit attempted to go over extra cover but ended up getting caught by Ayush Badoni. After picking the big wicket, Naveen, who had an altercation with Virat Kohli in an earlier match, does shut-out-the-noise celebration.
Mumbai Indians (MI) and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday reflected on his omission from the squad for ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and how it changed his life and game. Rohit did an exclusive interview with JioCinema ahead of his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 eliminator match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Chennai on Wednesday. Rohit said that his omission from the 2011 Cricket World Cup changed a lot about his game and routine and the year was a "setback" for him. India brought the World Cup home after 28 years, defeating Sri Lanka in the final at Rohit's home venue of Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. A young Rohit, then an up-and-coming talent, had to watch this all happen from the sidelines.
Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma said that batters Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera will play a big role for Mumbai Indians (MI) and the national side in the future and their story will be similar to that of former MI stars like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya, who have represented India at international level. The MI skipper had an exclusive interview with JioCinema ahead of the MI's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) which will take place in Chennai on Wednesday.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) square off in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. The winner of this fixture will take on Gujarat Titans for a place in the final, while the losing team will crash out of the tournament. The batting unit finally clicking and a rather dramatic entry into the IPL play-offs will make MI a more confident side. LSG, on the other hand, would know all too well that they were eliminated at the same stage last year by RCB after being one of the most dominating sides.
Mumbai Indians had a day to remember on Sunday as they registered a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last league stage match.

MI, who have now qualified with a total of 16 points, were dependent on GT's win over RCB. The team erupted in joy to celebrate their entry into the knockout stage of the tournament.
