The Mumbai Indians suffered a big setback before their IPL 2025 match against the Lucknow Super Giants when star opener Rohit Sharma was hit on the knee during practice.

MI captain Hardik Pandya confirmed at the toss that Rohit was hit on the knee and said, "He's missing out."

A video of Rohit cautiously climbing stairs with his bat for support rapidly went viral, raising questions about the severity of the injury.

Fans looking for a Rohit comeback, especially after a spate of low scores this season, were left disappointed and nervous. The seasoned opener was regarded as a crucial role in Michigan's turnaround this season, and the timing of his injury could not have been worse.

With Rohit out, MI's focus went to Hardik Pandya, who set a new IPL record by becoming the first skipper to capture five wickets.

Despite Hardik Pandya’s 5/36, LSG posted 203/8 thanks to Aiden Markram (53), Mitchell Marsh (60), Ayush Badoni (30), and David Miller (27).
