MI vs LSG, IPL 2025 Match 45: Players to avoid
Reece Topley: English fast bowler didn’t get a chance to play for MI this year and with bowlers likes Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, and Trent Boult already in good touch, he is unlikely to play against LSG as well.
Shahbaz Ahmed: Shahbaz Ahmed got just one game in IPL 2025 where he failed to make an impact with both bat and ball. It is unlikely to get a chance against MI.
