The Mumbai Indians find bowling form with yet another talent unearthed. Ashwani Kumar, the latest gem from the scouting camp gets off to a strong start which will keep Mumbai's scouts very pleased. They looked very solid with the ball and Ryan Rickleton too found his range with the bat implementing that there could be a story to tell going forward for the Mumbai Indians.

Lucknow are off to a tough start though. They lost two and won one but the main concern is the form of their captain Rishabh Pant. They aren't too happy with the conditions in Lucknow as well, favoring good batting units and not giving much to their spinners, who play an important role in the absence of the pace attack.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians Players to Watch

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma's form continues to be poor. He showed glimpses in the past two games with some of his vintage shots but he is not able to stay in long enough to make a mark and score big. MI's batting has stepped up but his contribution remains crucial if MI are to go better in the tournament.

Abdul Samad

Abdul Samad seems to have found a happy home in Lucknow. He is getting more chances to bat in a position where he can settle in and then slog with the cushion of having batters behind him. With a better platform and the presence of someone like Shardul Thakur, who is capable to hit as well, Samad has a bigger lever here to go for it.
