Rohit Sharma Injury Update: Will MI star play any part in the IPL 2026? Latest Update Revealed

Rohit Sharma has learnt his immediate fate after the injury he sustained in the IPL 2026 encounter against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

The former India captain suffered a hamstring injury during Mumbai Indians' (MI) IPL 2026 match against RCB at Wankhede Stadium.

Chasing a massive 241-run target, Rohit got off to a brisk start, scoring 19 runs off 13 balls (2 fours and 1 six) in an opening stand of 57 with Ryan Rickelton. In the sixth over, he appeared to pull his right hamstring while running between wickets and limped noticeably. The team physio attended to him on the field, strapping his thigh heavily in an attempt to allow him to continue.

However, after facing one more delivery, Rohit retired hurt and walked off the field in visible discomfort. He did not return to bat as MI fell short by 18 runs.
