Fri Apr 04 15:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Rohit Sharma Ruled Out of Mumbai Indians’ Match Against Lucknow Super Giants Due to Knee Injury
**Mumbai, India** – Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya announced that star batsman Rohit Sharma will miss their Indian Premier League (IPL) match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday due to a knee injury sustained during a net session.
Sharma, who also captains the Indian Test and ODI teams, has struggled in this IPL season, scoring 0, 8, and 13 runs in his three previous matches. His absence is a significant blow to the Mumbai Indians. Pandya confirmed the injury during the toss, stating, “Rohit hurt his knee in the nets and he’s out of this game.”
In other news, Pandya provided a positive update on the return of Jasprit Bumrah, saying the fast bowler’s comeback is “expected soon.” Bumrah has been sidelined since suffering a lower back injury during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav will be playing his 100th match for Mumbai Indians, receiving a special jersey to commemorate the occasion. Angad Bawa will replace Sharma in the playing XI, while Lucknow Super Giants have replaced M. Siddarth with Akashdeep.
The Mumbai Indians will be hoping for a strong performance from their remaining players despite the absence of their star opener.
