Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is facing yet another injury setback, leaving fans on edge about his future in IPL 2026. After missing the game against the Lucknow Super Giants due to back spasms, the MI camp is left speculating about his return. Ryan Rickelton, who played a crucial role in their recent victory, confirmed the news but added uncertainty regarding the severity of Hardik's condition.

In his absence, Suryakumar Yadav has stepped up as captain, leading the team on multiple occasions.

The skipper's injury woes have been a recurring theme, and the team is eager for him to bounce back quickly, especially with critical matches ahead.

Rickelton mentioned that while he’s not sure when Hardik will be back, the team is hopeful he can join them for their upcoming match in Raipur. As MI continues to chase crucial points in the league, the cricketing world will be keeping a close eye on Hardik’s recovery. Can he defy the injury odds and return to lead MI when it matters most?
