Mumbai Indians will be missing both Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav for their upcoming IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings on May 14. In their absence, Jasprit Bumrah will take on the leadership role for MI. This will be the first time since 2022 that Mumbai Indians will be playing without both players in the team.
The last time this happened was during the final match of the 2022 season against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium, which Mumbai Indians won by five wickets. Hardik was still playing for Gujarat Titans at that time, while Suryakumar was sidelined due to injury in the final few matches of the season.
In that memorable match, Mumbai Indians managed to restrict Delhi Capitals to 159 for seven, thanks to a brilliant three-wicket haul by Jasprit Bumrah. Ishan Kishan’s 48 and Tim David’s quickfire 34 off just 11 balls helped MI chase down the target with five balls to spare. Rohit Sharma captained Mumbai Indians in that fixture.
