Mumbai just can't seem to win a match in the Indian T20 league 2022. They have now lost their eighth consecutive game of this edition. With this loss, their chances of making it to the playoffs are more or less over. Lucknow beat the Rohit Sharma-led side by 36 runs.

The KL Rahul-led side have now won their fifth game of the 2022 edition. One of the major reasons for this victory goes to their skipper Rahul. The opener was simply sensational as he continued his good form. He scored his second century of the 15th edition of the league. Rahul has now scored 368 runs at an average of 61.33 this season.
In fact, he was the only batter from the Lucknow-based franchise who was able to get to a big score. Despite the other batters prematurely returning to the pavilion, he kept his calm. At the end, Rahul went on to score an unbeaten 103 runs from 62 balls. While his knock came at a strike rate of 166.13, he struck 16 boundaries. This ensured that the Lucknow-based franchise get to a score of 168-6 in their stipulated 20 overs. Taking the pitch conditions into account, the score wasn't too bad.
It is to be noted that batters from both the teams found it hard to get going. As far as the second innings is concerned, Mumbai's batters were once again unimpressive. Ishan Kishan's bad form continued as he took 20 balls to score eight runs. While Rohit Sharma did play some eye-pleasing shots, he failed to carry on. He was dismissed after scoring a 31-ball 39. After which, Mumbai kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Tilak Varma did give the Mumbai fans a glimmer of hope as he played some glorious shorts. However, even he failed to chase the target as the five-time champions fell short of their target by 36 runs. Thus, Lucknow got their first win at the Wankhede Stadium. Twitter users didn't spare them as they posted some hilarious memes.
Here are some of the best memes from today's game:
