MIS VS LSG: Cuando gira, Rsabh Pant puede encontrar difícil contra Jasprit Bumra

In the 45th match of IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants have to be prepared for an away challenge against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. A big weight of responsibility and pressure will be on Rishabh Pant to deliver once again this season. Many have said that he has struggled a lot against spin, but today the bigger challenge could be against the pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah as well.

Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025

In the nine matches so far, the batter has managed to score 106 runs. This also includes one slow half-century, but in the other eight matches, he has been awful. In this T20 tournament, he has a strike rate of 96.36.

Pant has had a bad time facing the spinners this IPL season. He has often given his wicket away to spin, maintaining a strike rate of just 71.11 against spinners. His performance against pacers is much better in comparison, with a strike rate of 117.46.

Pant to face double attack — the Bumrah challenge

Now, Rishabh Pant will not only face challenges against spin but will also have to deal with the fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has an amazing record against Pant in the IPL. Talking about their face-offs, in the 14 innings so far, Rishabh has scored only 55 runs in 46 balls, losing his wicket seven times.

Some help from the ground for Pant

It’s not all bad news for Pant, though, as he might get some help from the venue as well.

Talking about Pant’s performance at the Wankhede Stadium in the IPL, he has played 12 matches here, scoring 370 runs at a strike rate of 163. This is a good sign because Pant usually bats lower down the order and doesn’t have many balls to face. A strong strike rate at the venue is encouraging. However, he will be tested by the bowlers today. It is now time for him to show why he is the captain of Lucknow Super Giants.
