Despite a heroic effort by Rohit Sharma, who scored a scorching 68 off 38 balls, the Mumbai Indians (MI) ended their IPL 2024 campaign on a negative note despite Sharma's finest performance of the season. MI lost to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by eighteen runs at home. After chasing 215 runs, MI finished at 196 for six and finished last in the league for the second time in three years.

Even with Rohit's early pyrotechnics, MI's middle order stumbled, losing steam and unable to build on their captain's solid foundation. Naman Dhir, a young player, showed glimpses of his promise with a late half-century, but his effort was too little, too late to alter the result of the match. Nicholas Pooran's blazing fifty-seven off just 29 balls and KL Rahul's measured fifty-five helped LSG to a daunting total of 214 for 6.
