For a much-awaited clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians at Lucknow, both teams have made some tactical changes to their lineups. The home team has brought their Afghanistan seamer Naveen-ul-Haq on the cost of the explosive Kyle Mayers. Deepak Hooda and Swapnil Singh have also been included into their Starting XI. MI, on the flip side, have made just change by bringing in the off-spinner Hrithik Shokeen in place of Kumar Kartikeya.
In other notables changes, Ayush Badoni, Mohsin Khan have also got a opportunity for the upcoming IPL fixture.
Meanwhile, there are still no signs of Tilak Varma either in Starting XI or Impact Player subs' list, as the promising batter is still recovering from his injury.
