Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant has won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2025 “We’ll be bowling first today. In a day match, it’s important to make the most of the pitch early on. The team is in a good place mentally, and for me personally, focusing on the team’s needs make things simpler. The goal is to keep playing quality cricket and approach each game like it’s a fresh start. Just one change for us Shardul misses out, and Mayank Yadav comes into the XI,” Pant said.

“We were planning to bowl, but considering the heat, we’re comfortable starting with the bat. It’s all about adjusting to conditions without overthinking. Momentum is always nice to have, but in the IPL, every match is crucial. It’s about staying consistent and executing well. We’ve made two changes. Karn Sharma replaces Mitch Santner, and Corbin Bosch makes his debut today,” Hardik Pandya said
