Why is Rohit Sharma Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?  Who is MI Captain for MI vs KKR?

In a major development, Mumbai Indians (MI) regular captain Rohit Sharma will not play in their fourth game of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) season against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The Mumbai Indians, who have won the IPL a record five times, currently appear to be a shadow of their championship-winning side from three years ago. It’s unfortunate for them that Suryakumar Yadav’s worst lean patch of his career has coincided with the IPL.

Suryakumar Yadav, the stand-in captain for Mumbai Indians, stated during the toss, “We’d love to bowl first, as the wicket looks dry. The ball comes on to the bat nicely later. Rohit is out because he has a stomach bug. It’s time to put up a good show. We’re making one change, with Jansen coming in, while the rest remains the same.”

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Ishan Kishan(w), Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Arjun Tendulkar, Hrithik Shokeen, Piyush Chawla, Duan Jansen, Riley Meredith
