"Yeah, he's out. Nothing has been decided whether we
need an opener or a middle order batsman (as replacement). We are
playing an important game tomorrow. We wanted to focus on that. We will
see about the replacement after this game," said Rohit at the pre-game
media conference at the Wankhede Stadium here on Thursday.
Finch was ruled out of the T20 League after injuring his hamstring while going for a run during MI's match against Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad.
"We are thinking about it. We have come up with some names, but nothing has been confirmed yet. We thought we needed to look at a few more options. We will check them and decide. But it has to be done quickly," Rohit added.
Rohit also said that Harbhajan Singh, who did not play the game against Royals due to a sore neck, is fit to play Friday's game.
"Harbhajan is looking very good," the MI skipper said. Asked whether West Indian Lendl Simmons would open in place of Finch, Rohit was non-committal.
"We will have a good training session and decide the best team combination for tomorrow." Rohit indicated as much that he will bat at No.4 against the Super Kings, a slot he went in at against Royals after opening with Finch in the first two games.
