Rohit Sharma’s Injury Situation
In the previous bout, Sharma filled an impact player role and received batting seconds but LSG would see him play a comparable position. The training injury forced him to change his initial match plans. The athletic team continues to protect its essential player from potential further injury since the precise origin of his injury remains uncertain.

Sharma proved ineffective during the first game with a duck up before scoring only 8 runs against Gujarat Titans then adding 13 runs off 12 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders. The batting struggles of Sharma failed to affect Mumbai’s winning outcome against KKR in their initial home match of IPL 2025.
