In the 16th match of IPL 2025 – between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) – at the Ekana Stadium, a standout moment came during the 10th over when substitute fielder Corbin Bosch pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss 𒀰LSG skipper Ris🃏habh Pant.
Hardik Pandya’s slower ball does the trick
The moment unfolded on the fourth ball of the over bowled by MI captain Hardik Pandya. Bowling a slower one on a good length, Pandya induced a leading edge from Pant, who was attempting to work the ball on the leg side. The ball loಌbbed up towards mid-off, where Corbin Bosch – on as a substitute – charged in with determination. With great anticipation and athleticism, Bosch slid forward and completed a brilliant one-handed catch just inches off t🅷he turf. Pant’s short and unconvincing stay at the crease ended with just 2 runs off 6 balls.

The wicket proved to be a crucial breakthrough for Mumbai as Pant’s dismissal put some halt to LSG’s momentum during a high-scoring innings. Pandya, who eveඣntually finished with figures of 5/36, celebrated the dismissal with a loud roar, clearly aware of the significance of removing the LSG captain at a pivotal stage.

Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram power LSG to 203/8
LSG posted a formidable total of 203/8 after put in to bat, riding on a fiery 60 off 31 from Mitchell Marsh and a steady 53 from Aiden Markram. Cameos from Ayush Badoni (30 off 19) and David Miller (27 off 14) helped LSG push beyond the 200-run mark despite losing wickets in the death overs.
As the chase gets underway, Mumbai Indians will need a solid start from their top order to tackle the daunting target of 204 on a pitch that still looks goo🦋d for batting.
