MATCH TODAY – MUMBAI INDIANS VS LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS AT 7:30 PM
Mumbai, May 3: 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.But before all that, MI will have to have their Indian stars doing the heavy lifting, which has not been the case so far.Pandya’s leadership has come into focus as MI have endured a tough campaign.(PTI)
