The 45th match of IPL 2025, MI vs LSG, is scheduled to be played on Sunday afternoon in Mumbai.

The first game to be played on Sunday, April 27, in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will see a competition between two good sides who are among the front-runners to make it to the playoffs. Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face each other at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

MI will enter this game on the back of four consecutive wins. MI have picked up a pace and are carrying great momentum. They will fancy their chances at home. On the other hand, LSG have had some hard times in recent matches.

The form of Rishabh Pant is another issue. But they have all to beat MI in Mumbai. We expect a thrilling game here, which can also help the fans do well on fantasy cricket platforms. A good captain can change the fortunes.

For that, we’ve suggested three players who could be great choice to be picked as captain of Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for MI vs LSG, Match 45, IPL 2025

1. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has been in red-hot form. The Indian T20I captain is the fourth-highest scorer this season and the highest scorer for MI. He has scored 373 runs in nine innings at an average and strike rate of 62.16 and 166.51 respectively.

He has earned 757 fantasy points so far at an average of 84.11 fantasy points per match. He has featured in the best Dream11 team in every game he has played so far this season, and that’s why he can be a great pick as Dream11 captain.

2. Aiden Markram

There are some other good options as well, but Aiden Markram has overshadowed Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh in the last few games. He is a more technically sound batter than these two, who can play on tough pitches against tough bowling units.

Another factor that makes him a good option is his contribution with the ball. He can be a handy option at the Wankhede Stadium. Markram has earned 99, 115, 134, 68, 152, and 164 fantasy points in the last few games, which is insanely consistency.

3. Hardik Pandya

The last few games have been quiet for the MI skipper Hardik Pandya because the other players are performing well. But he is someone who can do well in all three departments and earn points.

Hardik is in good form for this season, and despite not having much chance to contribute in the last few games, he has maintained a consistency of 78 fantasy points per match. If the MI vs LSG game turns out to be a close contest, Hardik can give more points than anyone else.
