The blockbuster clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) ended up in the favour of the home side by 12 runs. In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the LSG side registered their second win of the season.

The 16th match of the IPL 2025 saw Lucknow Super Giants post 203 on the board after the end of their 20 overs, with Mitchell Marsh scoring 60 off 31 balls, while Aiden Markram's 53 off 38 balls proved vital in LSG's push for a big total. In reply, the MI side went as far as 191, only to fall short by 12 runs in the end, as the LSG side, on the back of excellent bowling by Digvesh Rathi, restricted Mumbai where Suryakumar Yadav played a blazing 67-run knock.

Therefore, let's have a look at the orange and purple cap holders in the IPL 2025 after the LSG vs MI match.
