Mumbai Indians got a big blow, Rohit Sharma became a victim of hamstring injury, fellow player broke his silence on the injury.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst IPL 2026, a news has come from the camp of Mumbai Indians (MI) which has made the heartbeats of the team management and fans faster. Former team captain and star opener Rohit Sharma is injured due to hamstring issue. During the match played against RCB, Rohit had to leave the field in the middle of the match. Now one of his Mumbai Indians teammates has confirmed that Rohit’s injury may be deeper than initially thought.

Physio had to be called in the middle of the field

Rohit Sharma was looking in great form during the sixth over of his innings. He had scored 19 runs in just 13 balls, which included two fours and a six. But suddenly while trying to steal a run, he got a muscle strain in his leg. Rohit was seen sitting on the field and the physio was immediately called. After a long conversation with the physio and initial check-up, Rohit decided not to take any risk but ‘retired hurt’ and returned to the pavilion.

Big revelation of fellow player

Giving an update on Rohit’s fitness during the post-match press conference, a senior Mumbai Indians player said, “Rohit is feeling a lot of pain in his hamstring. He told the physio that the strain was quite severe, so he decided to leave the field immediately. The team management is currently taking precautions and is awaiting his scan report.” Although he did not clarify for how many matches Rohit would be out, the wrinkles on his face hinted at the seriousness of the injury.

‘Double’ trouble for Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma was in excellent form at this time and along with Ryan Rickelton was giving aggressive start to Mumbai. His exclusion has created uncertainty in Mumbai’s batting order. After Rohit’s departure, Suryakumar Yadav had to quickly take charge. If Rohit is out for the next few matches, it will be a big loss for Mumbai not only as an opener but also as an experienced guide.

Eyes are on the scan report

The BCCI medical team is also keeping a close eye on Rohit’s injury. Since Rohit is equally important for the Indian team, there will be no compromise with his fitness. Currently, Rohit has been advised rest and his official scan report is expected by Monday evening. Mumbai Indians fans are praying for his early return with messages of ‘Get Well Soon Hitman’ on social media.
