The last time both sides played they had a nice low scoring encounter. Both teams were still in the tournament, fighting for a playoff spot. A couple weeks on one side is out of the race while the other is hoping for the unlikely with their net-run-rate looking really awful.

MI vs LSG Key Players

KL Rahul

How KL Rahul goes in the upcoming game will be very interesting to see. He copped a fair bit from the managers post game and his future with the franchise looks pretty uncertain all of a sudden.

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has fallen away after his century earlier in the tournament. The runs haven’t been flowing and his free-flowing nature has been missing. With the World Cup coming soon after though India will be hoping he finds form given his ability to accelerate and provide intentful starts.
