Mumbai Indians have made four changes to their playing XI for their IPL 2026 clash against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday (April 20).
Uncapped Indian batter Danish Malewar and spinner Krish Bhagat are set to make their IPL debuts, while New Zealand’s T20I captain Mitchell Santner returns to the playing XI.
The trio replace Ryan Rickelton, Mayank Rawat, Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur as Mumbai Indians look to shake up their combination.
Malewar to Open, Rohit Still Unavailable
Malewar, a 22-year-old from Vidarbha, will open the innings in place of Rickelton for the five-time champions. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma continues to remain sidelined due to a hamstring injury and has not recovered in time for the fixture.
