In what comes in as a big new, Rohit Sharma is not playing the LSG match in IPL 2025. For now, the news is that he will not be a part of the playing unit only in this game and is expected to be back for the next game. 

Rohit Sharma has been the designated opener for the Mumbai Indians for about a decade now. In his absence, the team management will have to think of a new opener. In IPL 2025, Ryan Rickelton has been the other opener, so with Rohit Sharma not playing - the young wicketkeeper batter from South Africa will have to open with a new partner. 

Who Will Open The Innings For MI vs LSG?

With the team composition that MI has gone for it seems that the English all-rounder and opening batter - Will Jacks will partner with Ryan Rickelton as the opener. 

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton provided the left hand - right handed combination at the top of the order for the MI. With Will Jacks replacing Rohit Sharma, that combination will stay at the top. 

Also Will Jacks is a naturally aggressive batter. The English all-rounder along with Ryan Rickelton will provide the firepower at the top of the order that is needed to maintain a good run rate from the beginning of the innings.
