IPL 2026, MI vs LSG Today Match: Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is not part of the playing XI for match 47 of the Indian Premier League 2026 against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday, May 4, 2026.
Stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav confirmed at the toss that Hardik was unwell and unavailable for selection. “He (Hardik) is not well tonight, so going into his shoes,” he said.
Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field first. MI have made a change to their lineup, with Corbin Bosch coming in for Trent Boult, while Rohit Sharma returns to the side after missing previous matches.
Hardik’s absence is a setback for Mumbai Indians in a crucial game as they look to stay in contention in the tournament. “Hardik misses out due to back spasm,” the Mumbai Indians camp said, without providing further details on his return timeline.
The match remains important for both teams, who are placed at the bottom of the points table and need wins to keep their playoff hopes alive.
