Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene has stated that Rohit Sharma's hamstring injury is not serious, and he is likely to return to the playing XI soon. Rohit, who missed the IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium, suffered the injury during a previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). At the toss, Mumbai's captain Hardik Pandya indicated that Rohit could miss two games. After retiring hurt in the sixth over against RCB, Rohit was seen performing light drills but ultimately did not play against Punjab. Following the match, which Mumbai lost by seven wickets, Jayawardene noted the team's struggles, particularly with bowling, and mentioned that injuries have forced changes to the lineup. Quinton de Kock made his season debut with an impressive 112 runs, but the team continues to seek improvement as they face challenges early in the season.
