MI endured an inconsistent start to IPL 2023, losing two of their first three matches, but they fought back in the second half of the season, with Suryakumar Yadav aka SKY rediscovering his brilliant form.
In fact, SKY has been MI’s top run-getter, with 511 runs from 14 matches at a strike-rate of 185.14.
New recruits Cameron Green and Nehal Wadhera, too, have impressed, with Green registering his maiden IPL century in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
LSG, meanwhile, had lost KL Rahul due to an injury during their game against RCB, when Rahul hurt his thigh while fielding. Krunal Pandya has led the team ever since as they made the playoffs for a second season running. Ravi Bishnoi (16 wickets) leads LSG’s bowling charts, but Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq (seven wickets), has also been one of LSG’s most influential recruits.
And when it comes to batting, it’s Marcus Stoinis (368 runs) who leads LSG’s chart, followed by two West Indians in Kyle Mayers (361) and Nicholas Pooran (358).
