Bumrah’s Record-Breaking Moment

Match Recap: MI vs LSG, IPL 2025
Batting first, Mumbai Indians posted a formidable 215/7, powered by explosive half-centuries from Ryan Rickelton (58 off 32) and Suryakumar Yadav (54 off 28). Naman Dhir’s unbeaten 25 off 11 and Corbin Bosch’s quickfire 20 off 10 provided a late flourish.
In response, Lucknow Super Giants faltered under relentless pressure from MI’s bowlers. Bumrah was the star, removing Markram early and then returning in the 16th over to wipe out the lower middle order, claiming the wickets of Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran, and Naveen-ul-Haq in quick succession. Trent Boult (3/20) and Will Jacks (2/18) provided excellent support as LSG were bowled out for 161.
This win marked MI’s fifth straight victory, propelling them to second place in the IPL 2025 standings and strengthening their playoff push.
