In the IPL 2025 match today, Mumbai Indians will face Lucknow Super Giants at the stadium in Lucknow. It will be a really interesting clash to see how the arena and the bouncy pitch will help both teams. There is an expectation of a good battle between Mumbai Indians’ great Rohit Sharma and LSG’s bowler Avesh Khan, as they have shared a great rivalry in the past. Let’s see how these out-of-form players will perform against each other.
Avesh Khan coming off fresh from Injury
Avesh Khan joined the team in the second match after recovering from an injury at the MCA. He played his first match against SRH, taking one wicket. However, he failed to get any wickets in the subsequent match and has an economy rate of more than 9 in the last two matches.
Out-of-form Rohit to perform
Rohit Sharma is currently going through a hard phase in IPL 2025, as he has failed to score big runs. His highest score in the last three matches is 13 runs, which was against KKR. In the first match against CSK, he got out for a duck, and then he faltered against Gujarat Titans with only 8 runs. In the last match, he scored 13 runs at the Wankhede Stadium. Currently, he is not in form and is coming on as an impact player, so it would be challenging for him to play a big innings.

Will Avesh Khan take Rohit Sharma’s wicket again?
Rohit Sharma might struggle against Avesh Khan, but Avesh is also going through a tough phase. It will be interesting to see. In the last three innings they played against each other, Rohit Sharma has managed to score only 11 runs, while Avesh dismissed him twice out of three times. If Avesh manages to get some momentum and use the new ball effectively, it will be interesting to see how both players perform against each other.
