Opening alongside <\/span>Ryan Rickelton<\/span>, the duo dismantled the LSG bowling attack with a record-breaking <\/span>143-run opening stand<\/span> in only 10.5 overs. <\/span><\/p>\n Rickelton was in devastating form, bludgeoning <\/span>83 off 32 balls<\/span>, featuring six boundaries and eight sixes at a strike rate of 259.38. On the opposite end, Rohit Sharma looked like he had never been away, scoring a sublime <\/span>84 off 44 balls<\/span>, including seven sixes and 6 fours.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite a temporary middle-order wobble where <\/span>Suryakumar Yadav (12)<\/span> and <\/span>Tilak Varma (11)<\/span> fell relatively cheaply, the platform set by the openers was too strong to beat. <\/span>Naman Dhir<\/span> provided late stability with an unbeaten <\/span>23 off 12 balls<\/span>, and <\/span>Will Jacks<\/span> finished the sport in style with a six to take MI to <\/span>229\/4<\/span> in 18.4 overs. <\/span><\/p>\n Ryan Rickelton<\/span> was named the <\/span>Player of the Match<\/span> for his explosive knock that set the tone for this historic chase. For Lucknow, it was an evening to forget for the bowlers, with <\/span>Manimaran Siddharth<\/span> being the one multi-wicket taker, ending with <\/span>2\/47<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Get the newest cricket news here, like us on Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram <\/a> for more such updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
