Before their IPL 2026 game against the Lucknow Super Giants on Monday at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, the Mumbai Indians gave a huge hint about Rohit Sharma's comeback. MI is toward the bottom of the IPL points table with seven losses in nine games, and they will need to go on an incredible run to make it to the playoffs. With Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma both having trouble finding their form, Rohit's injury-related absence came at a terrible time for the team. A video of Rohit practicing and batting in the nets was uploaded by MI prior to the game. "We fight till the end," the caption said.

Cheteshwar Pujara, a former Indian cricket player, discussed today's highly anticipated IPL 2026 match between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium.
Speaking on Star Sports, Pujara emphasised the significance of the game for both teams and talked about the difficulties both had endured this season.The Mumbai Indians have had many difficulties this season, and a victory is desperately needed for the team's pride, the supporters, and the hard-working players. JioStar specialist Pujara emphasised the need for MI to recover, saying, "When you are such a big team, expectations are high, and they will be eager to respond."

The former cricketer also acknowledged that, despite the Mumbai Indians' struggles, their legacy and expectations have placed immense pressure on the team. "At the same time, Lucknow Super Giants have also had their share of issues. So, both teams will be playing for pride, regardless of their playoff chances," he added.
