His absence could affect the balance of the team in this Must Win game.
The Indians of Mumbai (MI) will face the Gujarat Titans in the eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Friday, May 30 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur Chandigarh.
My finished fourth in the points table with 16 points after losing his last league match against Punjab Kings. Now they need to win both the Qualifier and qualifier 2 to ensure a place in the final.
Rickelton and Jacks are not available for me
My could be without four important players who appeared in their last game. Ryan Rickelton has left the team to join South Africa for the final of the World Testing Championship against Australia. Will Jacks also left, since he is part of the international team of England for the current series against Western Indies.
To cover his absence, I has signed replacement players. Jonny Bairstow has come to Rickelton, while Charith Asalanka has been brought by Jacks. It is likely that both Bairstow and Asalanka will be part of the eleven play for the eliminator against the Gujarat Titans.

The aptitude of chahaha and tilak varm in doubt
In addition to the absence of Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks, the Mumbai Indians are also dealing with aptitude problems for Deepak Chahar and Tilak Varma. A video shared by a fan in social networks showed both players with great bandages on their legs. They were seen struggling to walk, which has raised doubts about their availability for the eliminator.
In particular, Chahaha had problems with her leg during the game against Punjab Kings and had to leave the field once. Although he returned to complete his spell, he seemed to be discomfort and he was clearly struggling with an hamstring problem.
Chahaha threw a maiden in her first time, but gave 28 races in her next two overs, which reflected her lack of rhythm due to the injury. The team management will closely monitor its condition.
Tilak Varma, on the other hand, was injured his knee while he went on in the same game. His movement seemed restricted and the strange in his leg in the viral video has been added to worries. My will expect both players to recover in time, since their absence could affect the balance of the team in this game must win.
