Full Highlights & Awards Both teams under pressure in IPL 2026 While all's good off the field, LSG and MI have been struggling to get results their way in the IPL 2026 edition. MI led by Hardik Pandya has had a forgetful season so far losing 7 matches and registering just 2 wins till now. They are on the verge of getting knocked out this season. The inconsistency of players like Suryakumar Yadav has proved to be costly along with the absence of Rohit Sharma who is currently nursing an injury. LSG too has had their share of problems after a brilliant start they lost their way and lost five matches in a row. Rishabh Pant has been under pressure for his form and captaincy. The pacer's efforts went in vain against Delhi Capitals as he picked up 5 wickets for 23 runs but it wasn't enough for the team to secure a win. Both teams are in must-win situation going into the next stages of the league stage and both teams will need their senior players to perform to keep their playoffs dreams alive.
