Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 29 (ANI): Mumbai Indians (MI) players will wear black armbands in today's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Wednesday at the Wankhede Stadium due to the untimely demise of a support staff member's daughter.

The Mumbai-based franchise confirmed the news through a statement, announcing that players would wear black armbands during the match to honour and show support for a staff member who lost their daughter.

'Due to the untimely demise of our support staff's daughter, Mumbai Indians players will wear black arm bands today, in remembrance and solidarity with the family,' reads the statement from the franchise.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bat first against SRH.
