18:30 Local Time, 13:00 GMT, 18:30 IST: Hello and welcome to LSG vs MI. Both teams have had an iffy start. They are neighbours on the points table. MI won their last game (only game) and are 6th on the table. LSG are little south to them. They lost their last game at home against Punjab and their new mentor didn't hold back in criticizing the deck prepared by the curator. MI have never been short on star power but the young talents on show so far - Vignesh Puthur, Satya Raju and the hero of the last game Ashwani Kumar have been phenomenal.

Our early bird - Pratyush Sinha - has this to say, "Hello again from Lucknow. It's been quite a hot day today, with current temperature still at 36 degrees! According to local knowledge, the dew point hasn't been reached yet in Lucknow. It'd need the temperatures to come down significantly in the evening to have dew interfere with the match." He adds the ground is draped in Blue. Can't really spot much of the LSG jersey.

MI unearthed another gem from their school of scouting, with Ashwani Kumar having a memorable debut. It was good news for their pace attack that received a minor setback with Jasprit Bumrah's comeback pushed back by at least two matches. On the other hand, LSG's pace attack received a boost with Akash Deep set to return after an injury layoff.

Two teams in the lower half of IPL 2025 points table with their key India player yet to strike form. These are two of the sides who seemed to have options aplenty after the mega auction. As a result, they were expected to get going quickly. But that has not been the case. Lucknow Super Giants host Mumbai Indians at the Ekana Stadium with focus firmly on both sides' batting. Each team has one win out of three matches and tonight could be an opportunity to get their combinations right. Both Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma will have extra attention on them after a quiet start to IPL 2025. What is in store for us tonight? I am S Sudarshanan and, along side Ashish Pant, will be your eyes and ears for everything that unfolds in Lucknow tonight.

Rohit has tallied 21 runs in three innings this season. But MI batting coach Kieron Pollard is not bothered and has said "we'll be singing his praises" soon.
