Mumbai Indians thrashed Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs to further stamp their authority in IPL 2025. Hardik Pandya has now led the five-time champions to 5 consecutive wins in IPL 2025.

Corbin Bosch Has A Definitive IPL Debut

Mumbai made two changes to the starting lineup and one of them was Corbin Bosch. The South African all-rounder made his debut for the Mumbai Indians against Rishabh Pant's side and managed to impress with his all-around ability. He replaced Mitchell Santner in the team and chipped in with a quickfire 20 off 10 balls. He also gave away 26 runs in his four overs and got the prized wicket of Ravi Bishnoi.

Bosch withdrew from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) after being picked by Peshawar Zalmi as a Diamond opick in the drafts. The All-rounder insisted it was a special day to make his debut in IPL for the five time champions.

As quoted by ESPN Cricinfo, he said, “I officially got the news first thing in the morning through Mahela. Super happy about it. It's a super special feeling for me. It is my brother's birthday and what a special day to make my MI debut.”
