Rohit was not named in the playing XI, but will be inducted as an impact substitute when Mumbai bat in the second innings. The former India skipper had been recovering from a hamstring injury he sustained while playing an IPL 2026 match versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12.

Although he had been training for several days, the team management decided to rest Rohit for a few games until he was match-fit for competitive action.

Meanwhile, with Hardik Pandya unwell, Suryakumar walked out for the coin toss for MI in his absence. Suryakumar won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Apart from Rohit's addition, Corbin Bosch came in place of Trent Boult for Mumbai. As for LSG, Josh Inglis made his debut and Akshat Raghuwanshi replaced Mukul Choudhary.
