Mumbai Indians captain, Hardik Pandya, confirmed this news during the toss before the match. As a result, Rohit was replaced in the playing XI by Will Jacks, while Raj Angad Bawa made his debut for the franchise in place of Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Rohit Sharma had played three matches in the tournament before his injury, scoring a total of 21 runs while opening the innings. Despite his limited contribution with the bat, Rohit had played a crucial role as an Impact Player in the previous two games for Mumbai Indians.

The absence of Rohit Sharma was a significant blow to Mumbai Indians, considering his experience and leadership qualities. However, the team was determined to make the necessary adjustments and continue their campaign in the IPL 2025 season.
