KL Rahul's love for batting against Mumbai Indians and the latter's form in the ongoing 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) suffered a similar fate as Lucknow Super Giants claimed a comprehensive 36-run win at the Wankhede Stadium. It was expected that a grand return for Mumbai Indians back home after three long years could change their fate in IPL 2022, but their poor run of form, both with the bat and ball, continued as they slumped to their eighth straight defeat this season. LSG skipper's identical score of 103 from eight days ago against MI helped the team finish with 168 for 6 before the bowlers stood up to restrict Mumbai to just 132 for 8. (IPL 2022 FULL COVERAGE)
