New Delhi. A day before his 39th birthday, the situation regarding Rohit Sharma’s return to the Mumbai Indians team is still not clear. There is no certainty about his return after suffering a hamstring injury during the Indian Premier League 2026. This has increased the concern for Mumbai Indians because this difficult season of the team has now reached a do or die situation.
In the absence of Rohit, Mumbai Indians have tried many opening combinations. The team could not find the right balance and is constantly struggling in the top order. Rohit’s absence is becoming more painful due to Danish Malevar not getting runs from his bat. Especially when former captain Rohit Sharma had started the season well, but was out due to injury.
A Mumbai Indians source told PTI, “Rohit’s recovery is ongoing, but the final decision regarding his participation in Wednesday’s match will be taken at the time of the toss.” There is confusion regarding team selection before the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In such a situation, even Rohit’s biggest fans have started believing that he may miss the fourth consecutive match, although the team is hopeful of his return.
Mumbai Indians’ poor form and injuries
After the last match, Mumbai Indians got a break of six days. The pressure on the team has increased further after the crushing 103-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings last week. In the absence of Rohit, there was a win against Gujarat Titans, but the team has to constantly change the batting order. Important players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are also not in form.

It has been 17 days since Rohit played and fans are worried about his injury. Initially it was said to be a minor injury. After the injury, Rohit also started light training and net practice. In such a situation, it is not clear whether there is any complication in his return or he does not want to take any risk considering his age and importance for the Indian ODI team.
