Their opponents on Monday are in an equally dire position, as Mumbai Indians also have two wins from eight outings, making this a contest between two sides with their backs firmly against the wall.Inglis's road to Lucknow was not a smooth one. He had previously been with Punjab Kings at a relatively modest fee of INR 2.6 crore, but chose not to accept their retention offer ahead of this season, citing personal commitments that would limit his availability. The decision did not go down well with the PBKS hierarchy.Making the most of it, Lucknow stepped in at the auction and secured him for INR 8.6 crore, more than three times his previous price tag.MORE:Sanju Samson in, Rishabh Pant out? Samson pushes for India ODI comeback as selectors weigh 2027 World Cup optionsThe Bumrah over that made Inglish the talk of the townTo understand what Inglis brings to any batting lineup, you need to go back to IPL 2025.Mumbai Indians called on Jasprit Bumrah, their most trusted weapon in crunch situations, during the fifth over of that innings.Most batters, when facing Bumrah, are content to survive, rotate the strike and hope for something loose. Inglis had a different plan entirely.He opened the over with a boundary to signal his intentions. A dot ball followed, but it did nothing to slow him down. The third delivery was launched into the stands for a massive six.MORE:Which IPL team has the most consecutive losses at home?Bumrah searched for a response, but Inglis was unrelenting as the fifth ball was dispatched for four, and he closed the over with another six, this time hit cleanly back over the bowler's head.Twenty runs from one Bumrah over was the most expensive over the India pacer had conceded in the entire 2025 season.In 11 IPL appearances, Inglis has scored 278 runs at a strike rate exceeding 162, with a half-century among his contributions. He is expected to train with the LSG squad at the Wankhede on Saturday evening ahead of the Monday clash.The Cricket News Opinion:Inglis could be the X-Factor LSG have been missingTwo wins from eight games is a grim return, and Lucknow need something to change quickly if they are to salvage this campaign. Inglis, at his best, is exactly the kind of unpredictable, aggressive batter who can shift a game before the opposition has time to adjust.The Bumrah angle makes this one particularly interesting. Mumbai will know exactly what Inglis is capable of against their best bowler, and yet, knowing it and stopping it are two very different things. If Inglis walks out to bat on Monday and Bumrah is handed the ball, that contest alone will be worth watching.To keep up to date with all the latest cricket news and share your opinion on the biggest topics visit ourFacebook,InstagramandX (Twitter)pages.
