2 min readApr 29, 2026 07:45 PM IST There is no Rohit Sharma once again for the Mumbai Indians as they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium. The 38-year-old last played in April 12 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home and had limped off after facing 13 deliveries with a hamstring issue. “Rohit’s going to take a couple of more games,” said Pandya at the toss ahead of the match against SRH, which he won and chose to bat first. “He’s been trying, it’s not up to exactly where he would want, so not available for the team.” He was batting on 19 off 13 balls when he limped off the field in MI’s chase of a mammoth target of 241 against RCB on April 12. MI went on to lose the match by 18 runs.  He seemed to be fine for much of the game and fielded for the entirety of the RCB innings. He was running normally for the first four overs of the …

As the Mumbai Indians prepare for their upcoming clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), uncertainty surrounds the availability of Rohit Sharma, who is recovering from a hamstring injury. A decision on Rohit Sharma’s participation will be taken just before the toss, with the team management closely monitoring his fitness ahead of the high-profile clash. However, there are some positive news from the Mumbai Indians camp. Rohit Sharma was seen batting in the nets on Wednesday, while undergoing a controlled training session. He mostly faced throwdowns and avoided big shots during his 25-minute stint, indicating a cautious approach in his recovery. The injury sustained has already ruled out of two games for Mumbai Indians against Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans. If Rohit is ready to bat but not field, he might be used as an impact player. If he is unavailable, Mumbai Indians will use Danish Malewar is likely to continue as opener alongside Quinton de Kock. Rohit Sharma was the leading run scorer in the history of the MI vs CSK rivalry, with 913 runs …

3 min readApr 21, 2026 12:55 PM IST Former India off-spinner R Ashwin has backed Hardik Pandya to come good with the bat sooner rather than later after leading Mumbai Indians to a thumping 99-run win over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Monday. The 39-year-old felt that Pandya was in search of a win as captain after MI had lost four matches in a row and the win over GT would help him regain confidence with the bat as well. “Remember that Hardik Pandya is yet to open up with the bat. He will also start opening up with the bat. It is just a matter of one innings. If he gets a good hit in one innings, it will be very difficult to stop this team. If this team starts firing, it will become very difficult to stop them.” “Hardik Pandya was not getting the win as captain, and there was pressure on him, and that pressure comes into your batting as well. With this win, chances are high that Hardik Pandya will find …

2 min readMumbaiApr 20, 2026 03:11 PM IST Rohit Sharma availability for the IPL 2026 game against Gujarat Titans hangs in the balance as he continues to recover from the hamstring injury that he sustained in the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Indian Express understands that the 38-year-old will be travelling to Narendra Modi Stadium much early with the team to assess his fitness. Any hamstring scare takes a player minimum eight days to recover fully and the chances of him playing today remain bleak. Rohit had limped off after experiencing discomfort in his hamstring in last Sunday’s match against RCB. He went to miss next game against Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium. He was batting on 19 during RCB last week when he suffered a pain and began to limp which resulted him going back in dugout. Rohit seemed to be fine for much of the game and fielded for the entirety of the RCB innings. The 38-year-old started limping while running a leg bye off the fourth ball of the fifth over. …

So far, it has been a smooth campaign for India at the Champions Trophy, but ahead of their last group match against New Zealand, they are sweating over the availability of skipper Rohit Sharma. During their match on Sunday, in the early part of Pakistan’s innings, Rohit was seen struggling with his hamstring after a long chase to the boundary. Later on, he even walked off the field for a brief while with Shubman Gill taking charge. But Rohit came back and marshalled his troops before opening the batting with Gill in India’s successful chase. Story continues below this ad However, as India trained on Wednesday after a two-day break, Rohit was the lone frontline batsman not to get into the nets. Instead, he stayed indoors and later on, was seen working with the strength and conditioning coach and physiotherapist. While he did jog for a while, he wasn’t pushing himself to the full extent. With India scheduled to play New Zealand and their semifinal on Tuesday after just one day’s gap, the next couple …
