Quick comment: Mumbai Indians have the best names. They don’t have the best T20 team | Cricket News

4 min readChennaiMay 2, 2026 10:56 PM IST The question Mumbai Indians can no longer avoid is not about form. It is about design. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma — three of them T20 World Cup winners. On paper, a batting lineup as strong as any in the tournament. And yet on Saturday, Surya found Dewald Brevis at deep cover just as he was finding his touch. Tilak, whose hundred a few games ago felt like a turning point, slogged Noor Ahmad against the turn and top-edged to cover — a dismissal that summed up his campaign in one stroke. Pandya lasted 23 deliveries of thick edges, inside edges, swing and miss before he holed out at the deep. Three star names. Collective contribution: insufficient. But the form of individuals is not the real problem. The real problem is structural. In three IPL seasons, the defining shift in T20 batting has been the emergence of what might be called the new-age T20 baby — young, fearless, powerplay-oriented batsmen who don’t just score …

‘Virat has always been fit but Rohit…’: Shikhar Dhawan weighs in on India veterans’ run to 2027 ODI World Cup | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: May 1, 2026 08:11 AM IST Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are both in the thick of their respective IPL teams’ campaigns in the 2026 season of the tournament, although the latter has been out injured for the last four matches that Mumbai Indians have played. Kohli and Rohit have retired from T20Is, making the IPL the only tournament in which fans get to see the two India veterans play in the shortest format. The pair have however shown that they are far from losing their touch. Kohli is striking upwards of 165 in the nine innings he has played in and has consistently been in the top five of the Orange Cap table. Rohit before his injury was the struggling MI’s most consistent runscorer. In international cricket, though, the pair are now active only in ODIs, which had initially led to questions around their place in the Indian team. However, they now seem to have silenced them with some stellar performances, especially in the case of Kohli who has scored 50 …

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.

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 …

India captain Rohit Sharma has faced criticisms over his form and fitness in recent years, even sparking a nationwide debate during the Champions Trophy in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month. The 37-year-old Mumbaikar, however, would prove his detractors wrong with a spell-binding 76 in the final in Dubai, helping India tide over New Zealand to lift their second ICC title within nine months under his captaincy. Rohit’s on-field awareness extends beyond his captaincy traits, it even helps him manage potentially dangerous physical conditions on his own! Australian musculoskeletal physiotherapist Jared Powell, who holds a PhD in shoulder pain-related study, recently took to social media to hail Rohit’s physical awareness on the field. Resharing a clip from an India-England ODI from 2022 on his Instagram handle, ‘shoulder_physio’, Powell said the Indian captain “deserved a ton of respect” for popping his dislocated shoulder back on his own.

Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma might be rested for New Zealand game | Cricket News

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 …
