Only the second time when Rohit isn't playing for MI

This is only the second occasion when Rohit is not a part of Mumbai Indians' playing XI, since joining the franchise.

Rohit, who joined the MI contingent in 2011, missed the league stage game against Kings XI Punjab last year due to a muscle spasm on his right leg.

Notably, he had played 133 consecutive matches before missing his first for the franchise.

Match

MI won the toss and elected to field

MI stand-in skipper Kieron Pollard won the toss and elected to field against CSK, in Sharjah.

Meanwhile, CSK have been off to a dreadful start with the top-three batsmen departing in the second over.

CSK, who presently occupy the bottom spot on the standings, still have an outside chance to qualify for the playoffs.

Hence, the ongoing game becomes a must-win for them.
