Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani screamed with excitement as Rishabh Pant departed for a single-figure score in the IPL 2025 game against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 27, Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium. Ambani, who was speaking to Harsha Bhogle about the ESA day, screamed the moment Pant was dismissed as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
The dismissal occurred in the seventh over of the innings as the left-handed batter played a reverse sweep the very second ball he faced. Although Pant gained a lucky boundary to open his innings as the ball took the outside edge, the reverse sweep was a miscue and it went to the short-third man, with Karn Sharma taking a simple catch. In the process, the 27-year-old's torrid run in the tournament continued:

Mumbai Indians rise to second spot in the IPL 2025 points table after convincing victory over the Lucknow Super Giants
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians produced an all-round performance, leaving the Super Giants dazed. Earlier in the game, Rishabh Pant had won the toss, with Ryan Rickelton (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (54) making half-centuries to propel their side to 215 in 20 overs.
Although the Super Giants got off to a decent start, they kept losing wickets regularly, making it harder to chase down the steep total put on the board. Rishabh Pant's torrid run in IPL 2025 continued, falling for a single-figure score. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult shared seven wickets between them to bowl LSG out for 161 in 20 overs.
With that, the Mumbai Indians have also climbed to the second position in the points table.
