Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will square off against each other in the 45th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Sunday, April 27th. The thrilling contest will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM IST.
MI have found form after a slow start and have shown great dominance. They will aim to continue their winning run to climb further up in the table. LSG, coming off a loss, will be looking to get back to winning ways and keep themselves alive in the playoffs race.
As another great contest awaits from Mumbai, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for MI vs LSG Match 45 of IPL 2025.
3. Rohit Sharma
Why Will Rohit Sharma Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Rohit Sharma will be a safe captain or vice-captain choice ahead of the MI vs LSG Sunday clash. The experienced opener is back in form as he has scored two half-centuries in the last two games, aggregating 146 runs at a strike-rate of 160.4.
While doing so he was MI’s top fantasy player, earning the most fantasy points from his side in the last two outings. Known for his aggressive starts inside the first six overs, Rohit can rack up big points early, making him a reliable and impactful fantasy asset.
2. Suryakumar Yadav
Why Will Suryakumar Yadav Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Suryakumar Yadav remains a top fantasy pick, especially when MI play at their home ground. The dynamic right-hander has rediscovered his explosive form in the last two matches and continues to dominate at Wankhede.
He is currently MI’s leading run-scorer this season with 373 runs at an average of 62.2 and a strike-rate of 166.5. Suryakumar is a must have captain or vice-captain as he has earned 757 fantasy points in total this season so far which is the highest for any MI player this season.
1. Nicholas Pooran
Why Will Nicholas Pooran Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Nicholas Pooran may have gone a bit quiet recently, but he remains a top captain or vice-captain choice for the upcoming MI vs LSG clash. With 377 runs at a staggering strike rate of 204.09, it is only a matter of time before he fires again.
MI’s has been a strong middle-overs bowling unit that will make Pooran’s role even more important. If we look at his past appearance at the Wankhede Stadium, Pooran smashed 75 off 29 against MI at their own backyard last year and will look to spoil their plans once more.
