While nothing is official yet, there are rumours that Deepak Chahar could miss Mumbai Indians' Eliminator against Gujarat Titans.

The Mumbai Indians speedster suffered the injury during an IPL 2025 match against Punjab Kings on May 26 while bowling. He received some treatment from the physio before leaving the field.
While nothing is official yet, there are rumours that Deepak Chahar could miss Mumbai Indians’ Eliminator against Gujarat Titans in Mullanpur on Friday (May 30). The 32-year-old has taken 11 wickets from 14 matches for Mumbai Indians so far this season. However, if he does miss the Eliminator on Friday, there could be concerns regarding the team’s playing XI combination.
Should Deepak Chahar be absent for Mumbai Indians’ game against Gujarat Titans on Friday, the five-time champions could look at England pacer Richard Gleeson as an option. Richard Gleeson was signed by Mumbai Indians for INR 1 Richard Gleeson played for Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20 2025, where he took 14 wickets from 13 matches.
