Rohit Sharma has made a positive step by returning to the nets ahead of the Mumbai Indians' crucial IPL 2026 match against the Gujarat Titans. After missing the previous game due to a hamstring injury sustained during a chase against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12, Rohit batted in the nets in Ahmedabad, showing signs of recovery. However, the Mumbai Indians have not yet confirmed his fitness for the upcoming match, as they remain cautious about rushing him back into play. The team is currently struggling at the bottom of the IPL table with just two points, making Rohit's potential return critical for their performance. In his absence, Quinton de Kock excelled, scoring a century against the Punjab Kings, raising questions about the opening combination if Rohit is cleared to play. The final decision on his availability will be made by the medical team and head coach Mahela Jayawardene as the team prepares for this must-win game.
