MI vs LSG, IPL 2026:Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are battling for survival as they lock horns against one another in Match 47 of IPL 2026, with Wankhede Stadium set to host the clash.

With only four points in their kitty, both Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants are in must-win territory. With the impact player rule that was introduced in the 2024 edition and changing the face of IPL, it will yet again be in focus on Monday. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Shardul Thakur and Himmat Singh are likely to be impact players on Monday's fixture.

MI vs LSG IPL 2026 Impact players

3) Rohit Sharma for Mumbai Indians

With Rohit Sharma not playing since the game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) due to a hamstring injury, the Mumbai Indians may need him more than ever as their playoff hopes are on the line. The decision about whether or not Rohit plays will only come at the toss but he could very well slot as an impact player solely to showcase his exploit with the bat.

2) Shardul Thakur for the Mumbai Indians

Shardul Thakur had been roped in as an impact player during the IPL 2026 match against the SunRisers Hyderabad but mysteriously didn't bowl or bat. Should the Mumbai Indians need Shardul to make an impact, they need to utilise him better and he could get an opportunity again on Monday when the five-time champions face the Super Giants.

1) Himmat Singh for the Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants' Himmat Singh had almost carried their side to victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at home after coming in as an impact player in that fixture. The right-handed batter could get another opportunity to prove his credentials on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium.
