As the Mumbai Indians (MI) gear up to face off against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2026, all eyes are on the playing 11 lineup for today's match. The Indian Express has provided insights into the probable squads for this highly anticipated clash at Wankhede Stadium.
Two struggling teams, Mumbai Indians currently standing 9th in the table and Lucknow Super Giants at the bottom in 10th place, will clash on Monday in a bid to keep their playoff hopes alive. While Mumbai Indians suffered a recent setback against CSK, their chances are not completely extinguished yet. Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, will be aiming to secure victories in all their remaining games and hope for favorable outcomes in other fixtures to stay in the competition.
Mumbai Indians are still uncertain about the return of their star player, Rohit Sharma, who has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury for the past three weeks. If Sharma makes a comeback, he is expected to take his place at the top of the order, potentially displacing Krish Bharat, with Will Jacks moving to No. 3. Lucknow Super Giants have the option of including Josh Inglis in their lineup, which could see Nicholas Pooran being benched to strengthen their batting lineup.
Probable lineup for Mumbai Indians: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Krish Bharat, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashwani Kumar, AM Ghazanfar, Raghu Sharma, Corbin Bosch.
Likely playing XI for Lucknow Super Giants: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Josh Inglis, Ayush Badoni, Himmat Singh, Mukul Choudhary, Manimaran Siddharth, Mohsin Khan, Mohammed Shami, Digvesh Rathi, Prince Yadav.
