IPL 2026, RCB vs MI Today Match: Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya remains doubtful for Mumbai Indians’ crucial Indian Premier League 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
Hardik missed MI’s previous game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) because of a back spasm. In his absence, Suryakumar Yadav led the side brilliantly and guided Mumbai to a six-wicket victory. Although Hardik has now joined the MI squad in Raipur, his participation against RCB will depend on clearance from the medical team.
Mumbai Indians, however, have received a positive update regarding Suryakumar Yadav. The senior batter, who recently became a father, has reportedly informed the franchise that he is available for selection. If Hardik is ruled out of the encounter, Suryakumar is likely to continue leading the side against RCB.
Hardik has struggled to make a major impact for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 so far. The all-rounder has scored 146 runs in eight matches and picked up four wickets this season.
Mumbai Indians are currently fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive after winning only three of their 10 matches in IPL 2026. The five-time champions are placed ninth in the points table and need victories in all their remaining league matches to remain in contention for a playoff berth.
The final decision on Hardik's participation is expected at the toss.
