Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma is a doubtful participant in his team’s IPL 2026 home game against Punjab Kings, to be played on Wednesday, due to an injury.

Rohit had hurt his hamstring while batting during MI’s clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday. After receiving on-ground treatment, he had tried to soldier on.

But, the former Indian captain had to retire hurt after scoring just 19 from 13 deliveries as MI stumbled to a heavy defeat against RCB.

“The medical staff is assessing him… An official update will be given when available,” said MI batter Naman Dhir in the pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

Rohit reportedly underwent scans after the game and had skipped training on Monday.

MI has suffered a stuttering start to the season, losing three of its four opening games and is currently placed second from the bottom in the standings.
