There seems to no end to the miserable run of the Mumbai Indians at the Tata IPL 2022. They lost their 8th match in row this time to the Lucknow Super Giants by 36 runs at the Wankhede stadium. The venue they love. Yet the change of venue did not bring any such luck.
Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and fielded first . LSG lost Quinton de Kock for 10. Manish Pandey ( 22) , Marcus Stoinis ( 0), Krunal Pandya ( 1). As wicket fell around him LSG skipper K L Rahul was unfazed and slammed his second ton against the same opponent in this season . It was masterclass innings of 103 not out , the 62 ball knock had 12 fours and four sixes. Deepak Hooda ( 10), Ayush Badoni ( 14) enabled LSH reach a modest 168/ 6 in their 20 overs. Skipper Rahul carrying his bat all the way with yet another special innings .
103* off 62 deliveries from the #LSG Skipper.

Desperate for win by Mumbai Indians was evident when their skipper Rohit Sharma , battling poor form and inconsistent Ishan Kishan came out to bat . Kishan looked rusty and struggled to move on and was out for o sorry 20 ball 8 . Rohit Sharma showed the intent and played some cracking shots and gave hopes of return to from but he too fell for 31 ball 38 ( five fours and 1 six) . After Sharma the batting simply fell apart . Dewald Brevis ( 3), Suryakumar Yadav ( 7) , Tilak Varma , Kieron Pllard not his usual self ( 19) meant Mumbai fell 36 run short at 132/ 8 in their 20 overs.
For LSG : Mohsin Khan 1/ 27 ( 4 overs) , Dushmantha Chameera 0/ 14 ( 4 overs) was outstanding, Jason Holder 1/ 36 ( 4 overs) , Krunal Pandya 3/ 19 ( 4 overs) , Ravi Bishnoi 1/ 28 ( 3 overs) , 1/6 ( 1 over)
