Giving an update, Hardik said that Rohit is trying hard to make a comeback, but is not completely fit yet.
Rohit Sharma’s non-return is a cause of trouble for the Mumbai team. Mumbai has so far played 7 matches in the entire season and won only two matches. The situation is such that equations are beginning to form for Mumbai to be out of IPL 2026.
