New Delhi, April 13: The Mumbai Indians (MI) are facing increasing difficulties in IPL 2026 after losing three matches. A scan will be conducted to assess the severity of former captain and star batsman Rohit Sharma’s injury. Rohit retired hurt after scoring 19 runs against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and did not return to the field.
According to a report from ‘Cricbuzz’, Rohit Sharma will undergo a scan to understand the seriousness of his hamstring injury. His availability for MI’s next match against the Punjab Kings on April 16 will depend on the results of this scan. The 38-year-old Rohit retired hurt during the sixth over of the innings against RCB, having scored 19 runs off 13 balls, including two fours and a six.
He appeared to be in trouble after facing the second delivery from Rasikh Salam in the final over of the powerplay and ultimately had to leave the field. Before retiring hurt, MI’s physiotherapist treated Rohit on the ground for an extended period. He returned to face the second ball but retired hurt after defending it. The exact nature of Rohit’s injury will be clarified only after the scan results are available.
The severity of Rohit’s injury is still uncertain. After the match, Sherfane Rutherford commented on Rohit’s condition, saying, “I’m not completely sure. It might be a slight hamstring issue, but I can’t say for certain. I was in the dugout, so I don’t have much information.”
So far in IPL 2026, Rohit has scored 137 runs in four matches, including one half-century. He was in good form against RCB, and before retiring hurt, he also completed 6,000 runs in the IPL while playing for the Mumbai Indians. He is only the second player to reach this milestone after Virat Kohli. Rohit has been with the Mumbai Indians for the past 15 years and has led the team to five IPL trophies.
