The Mumbai Indians faithful were treated to a night of pure nostalgia at the Wankhede Stadium as their team dismantled the Lucknow Super Giants by a commanding 54 runs in their latest IPL 2025 clash.
It wasn’t just a win — it was a statement. A powerful reminder of the team’s iconic 2015 campaign when they rose from the ashes of a poor start to lift the trophy.
Ryan Rickelton Sets the Stage on Fire
It all began with Ryan Rickelton playing a brilliant knock, anchoring the Mumbai Indians innings and powering them to a daunting total of 216. His fluent strokeplay and ability to find gaps kept the LSG bowlers under constant pressure, setting the perfect tone for MI’s charge.
Bumrah and Boult: The Wrecking Duo
In reply, Lucknow Super Giants got a promising start, but the MI bowling attack was simply too hot to handle.
Jasprit Bumrah, finding his fiery rhythm again, ripped through LSG’s batting order, bagging four crucial wickets. At the other end, Trent Boult was just as deadly, grabbing three wickets to crush any hopes of a recovery.
Adding to the carnage, Will Jacks chipped in smartly with two wickets, ensuring LSG’s chase never really took flight.
LSG Falter Despite Bright Sparks
Despite valiant efforts from Ayush Badoni (35 runs) and Mitchell Marsh (34 runs), the task proved too much for Lucknow. Wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals, and the mounting scoreboard pressure eventually sealed their fate.
LSG were bowled out, handing MI a dominant 54-run victory — their fifth consecutive win of the season.
The Spirit of 2015
Mumbai Indians’ current run is stirring memories of their 2015 fairytale — a season where they too had a rocky start, only to string together a golden run of victories and ultimately lift the title.
After nine games, MI now sit comfortably with 12 points, and the momentum seems to be gathering at the perfect time. Could history be about to repeat itself?
With five straight wins under their belt and players peaking at the right time, Mumbai Indians are once again looking like the team no one wants to face.
The Wankhede roared on Sunday night — not just in celebration, but in hope.
Hope that the magic of 2015 might just be about to shine again.
