Rohit Sharma Retired Hurt: Will He Come Out to Bat Again?

MI's former skipper Rohit Sharma looked in excellent touch today, scoring 19 off 12 balls, before getting retired hurt. While he was batting, he struggled with his hamstring, and the physio came out to check up on him after the fifth over. A ball later, Rohit left the ground due to a hamstring injury that he sustained while batting. He looked in visible pain but tried to stay on the wicket after receiving some treatment.

However, it didn't take long as Rohit decided to go back in the pavilion a few balls later, keeping in mind the entire season. It's not yet confirmed on whether Rohit is ruled out of the match or not. If he gets fit, he can come out to bat again in the MI vs RCB IPL 2026 match.

Overall, Mumbai leads the overall MI vs RCB H2H record, but it seems like RCB are ahead in this match. The defending champions have been a better side on all aspects in this match and deserve the win.

Rohit Sharma injury is a huge deal for MI as he is one of the best batsmen in IPL. The season has just started, and MI will hope for their premier batter to be fully fit. He has been in good form with the bat this season. Overall, he is second on the list of most runs in IPL, just behind Virat Kohli.

Did MI Lose Momentum After Rohit Sharma’s Exit?

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton got off to a good start in the second innings. But Rohit's departure from the field did have a change in momentum since the team lost two quick wickets later. Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav batted well but the former lost his wicket soon.

MI kept losing wickets at regular intervals with RCB closing in on a memorable win. Despite being one of the best teams in IPL history, Mumbai Indians are yet to hit their straps this season. After the win in the season opener over KKR, they have struggled in all departments. They will hope Rohit to be available for the upcoming matches as his experience will be key.
