Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, is poised to make his return against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) after missing the last three matches due to a hamstring injury sustained on April 12 during a game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Reports indicate that Rohit has ramped up his training intensity and has not experienced any pain, which has raised hopes for his comeback. His absence has forced MI to try different opening combinations, including Quinton de Kock and 22-year-old Danish Malewar, who has struggled with form, scoring only 2 runs in the last two games. Rohit's return would be a significant boost for MI, who currently sit ninth in the points table with just two wins from seven matches, and he was their leading run-scorer before his injury.
