Mumbai Indians surprised everyone when the five-time champions didn’t include former captain Rohit Sharma in the playing XI against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during their first home encounter of the IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians have lost both their games so far in the season.
Playing his first game at the Wankhede Stadium in the IPL after a forgetful 2024 season, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya opted to bowl first after winning the toss. Winless in IPL 2025 so far, Mumbai Indians made three changes, bringing in Will Jacks, Vignesh Puthur and Ashwani Kumar (on debut).
