Rohit Sharma Injury Scare: Hamstring Scan Before MI vs PBKS

Trouble brews for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 after three straight losses, compounded by Rohit Sharma’s hamstring woes. The iconic opener is lined up for scans to determine if he can feature in the crucial Punjab Kings fixture on April 16.

Sunday’s encounter with RCB saw Rohit in full flow until injury struck. His 19 off 13—laced with two fours and a six—ended abruptly in the sixth over. Facing Rasikh Salam, he winced in pain post-second ball of the powerplay over. On-field physio intervention extended, yet he defended once more before retiring hurt.

Reports confirm the scan will clarify the damage. Rutherford’s post-game take was tentative: ‘Looks like hamstring trouble, but I can’t confirm from the dugout.’

Rohit’s season stats impress: 137 runs in four matches, with a half-ton. Against RCB, he joined elite company, becoming the second after Kohli to reach 6,000 runs for MI. His legacy—15 years, five titles as captain—underscores his irreplaceable role.

As MI battles to regain momentum, Rohit’s fitness verdict looms large. A clean bill could spark a turnaround; otherwise, the road ahead gets steeper.
