MI have named Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks at the top in their starting 11, expect Jacks to partner Rickelton with Rohit missing out today. Also, young all-rounder from Punjab Raj Bawa has been slotted in for his all-round skills in the MI lineup for today's match. Not the usual Rohit Sharma Coming off a successful Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma has had a dull start to this year's IPL with scores of 0, 13 and 8 in the three innings so far. Over the past few years as well, the Rohit Sharma in the India blues has been vastly different from the Rohit Sharma in the MI blues. Here are his numbers in the IPL over the last 3 years - 2025* - 21 runs in 3 innings, averaging 7 and striking at 105 2024 - 417 runs in 14 innings, averaging 32.08 and striking at 150 2023 - 332 runs in 16 innings, averaging 20.75 and striking at 132.80 2022 - 268 runs in 14 innings, averaging 19.14 and striking at 120.18 2021- 381 runs in13 innings, averaging 29.30 and striking at 127.42 Can MI make it two in two? Known for their slow starts, MI finally kicked off their campaign with a win in their third match against KKR, MI gave got the initial points on board and have also got a positive net run rate of +0.309 as a result of their big win. Now, they would be hoping to make the right kind of moves and enter into the top-half with back-to-back wins as they face hosts LSG at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, an opposition that has had the wood over them in the past. MI will be feeling the big void of Rohit Sharma at the top but they need to produce a positive result today or else they would have lost three out of their first four matches.
