Rohit Sharma’s absence from Mumbai Indians’ playing XI in today’s IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants has left fans concerned and curious. Speculations were put to rest when captain Hardik Pandya confirmed during the toss, “Rohit is not playing today’s match due to a knee injury he suffered during practice last night, but he has almost recovered and will be fully fit for the next match.”
Shortly after, a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by a user offered more clarity on the situation. The video shows Rohit Sharma visibly struggling to climb a flight of stairs post the practice session, with Mumbai Indians’ Assistant Physiotherapist Amit Dubey and other support staff helping him.

The footage confirms that the star batter was indeed dealing with discomfort, dismissing any speculation about the injury being a strategic move. The team appears to be taking precautionary measures to ensure he returns fully fit for the next game.
Rohit’s presence at the venue and interaction with the support staff reflects positive signs of recovery, and fans will be hoping for his comeback in Mumbai Indians’ next outing.
