Big boost for Mumbai Indians
Source close to the development told SportsTak that the former Indian skipper has been going to the gym without any problem. MI physios believe that the star opener could be available for the clash against SRH. So far in the rehabilitation, Rohit has not complained about any pain or discomfort.
The Source also added that the ongoing speculations about a change in captaincy, are totally baseless.
What happened to Rohit Sharma?
In MI's defeat against RCB, Rohit Sharma had to leave the ground in the sixth over due to a hamstring injury while batting at 19 off 13 balls.
As a result, Rohit Sharma did feature in the loss against Punjab Kings. The former India skipper resuming batting again could be a big relief for the team management, as he is enjoying a fine season with the bat.
Rohit Sharma's fine IPL 2026 season
After four games, Rohit Sharma has managed to amass 137 runs at a strike rate of 165.06 with the help of 13 fours and eight sixes in IPL 2026. After a great start to the season, the former India skipper stands at 13th place in the Orange Cap race.
Amid Mumbai Indians' underwhelming form in the IPL 2026, Rohit's return could prove to be a big turning point for the five-time IPL champions.
