Mumbai Indians talisman Rohit Sharma will undergo scans to detail the extent of his hamstring injury, which he picked up during his team’s IPL 2026 clash against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Cricbuzz reported. Sharma walked off the field in the 241-run chase at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 12, in the sixth over. Meanwhile, his availability for MI’s next clash against the Punjab Kings on April 16 will be dependent on the scan results.
Rohit was attended by the physio before the first ball of the sixth over, bowled by Rasikh Salam Dar. He returned to face the over but could not continue after the second ball, which he blocked. The former MI skipper walked off retired hurt, as Suryakumar Yadav walked in to replace him.
Meanwhile, MI batter Sherfane Rutherford, who made a face-saving 71 from 31 balls in MI’s 18-run defeat, spoke on Rohit’s injury after the game. “I’m not entirely sure yet – perhaps it’s a bit of a hamstring issue – but I can’t say for certain. I was in the dugout, so I don’t have much information on it,” Rutherford said in the post-match press conference after the defeat.
