Australia’s T20I Captain Mitchell Marsh acquired LSG for Rs 340 crore in IPL 2025 Mega Auction. However, his availability at the start of the season is doubtful due to ongoing back issues. The all-around player’s lower back pain has ruled him out of the 2025 championship trophy. As his recovery progresses uncertain, LSG may have to start the campaign without him.

5. HardikPandya (Mumbai Indians)

Mumbai Indian Captain Hardik Pandya will miss the opening game of IPL 2025 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 23. His absence is due to the slow pause of one game in the MI final group stage game against LSG in MI 2024. As a result, Mumbai will have to start their season without the captain leadership.
