Many fans couldn't understand why Hardik Pandya stopped Mitchell Santner from taking a possible single in the last over. This was even more confusing because Pandya had just gotten Tilak Varma out bringing Santner into play. This plan didn't work out because Pandya chose not to trust the new player, which led to things going wrong. When they needed 14 runs from four balls, Pandya couldn't hit a boundary on two balls getting one run instead. The Mumbai Indians' loss to the Lucknow Super Giants shocked Akash Ambani so much that he hurried to the dugout to cheer up and encourage the players who felt let down after losing by 12 runs.
In their pursuit of 204 at Ekana Stadium against LSG, MI had positive momentum thanks to Suryakumar Yadav until his dismissal in the 17th over changed their fortunes. Tilak Varma struggled with his batting and was run out after scoring 25 runs off 23 deliveries. With 29 runs needed from the final twelve balls, Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan managed to secure the required runs. Digvesh Rathi's impressive 1-21 over performance earned him the Player of the Match award for dismissing Naman Dhir on 46. LSG's strong score was built on Mitchell Marsh's impressive 60 runs off 31 balls, including nine fours and two sixes.
