Summary
- LSG achieved their highest-ever IPL powerplay total of 90/1.

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have set a new franchise record, scoring a massive 90 runs for one wicket during the powerplay against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their IPL clash. This explosive start saw openers Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis taking charge at the Wankhede Stadium.
MI's stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav opted for an early spin attack, bringing in Allah Ghazanfar, which yielded the wicket of Josh Inglis. However, the aggressive batting continued with Mitchell Marsh smashing 21 runs off Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth over.
Adding an unusual twist, MI debutant Raghu Sharma celebrated his first IPL wicket with a unique gesture, producing a note from his pocket. This act prompted a curious reaction from Suryakumar Yadav, who appeared to try and read the hidden message.
The match also saw the absence of MI's regular captain Hardik Pandya, who was sidelined with a back spasm, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the team in his stead.
