The troubles continue to mount for the Mumbai Indians in Indian Premier League 2026, as concerns grow over the fitness of their star batter Rohit Sharma. After a promising start to the season, the team has struggled with back-to-back defeats, and now an injury to Rohit has added to their worries.

The incident occurred during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium on April 12. While batting, Rohit showed signs of discomfort after taking a single off Krunal Pandya in the fifth over. His condition seemed to worsen in the following over, prompting the team physio to step in and assess the situation on the field.

After a brief examination, Rohit decided to retire hurt and walked back to the pavilion, raising immediate concerns among fans and team management. He did not return to bat for the remainder of the innings, further intensifying speculation about the seriousness of the injury.

According to reports, Rohit may need to undergo medical evaluation at a hospital to determine the extent of the issue. His availability for the next match now remains uncertain, which could be a significant blow for Mumbai Indians given his experience and importance at the top of the order.
