In the IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered an 18-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), raising concerns about Rohit Sharma's fitness. MI was chasing a daunting target of 241 runs after RCB scored 240/4, with notable contributions from Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, and Rajat Patidar. MI started strong, reaching 62/0 in the powerplay, but the momentum shifted dramatically when Rohit exited the game in the sixth over due to a hamstring issue. He had scored 19 runs off 13 balls before retiring hurt, and MI ultimately finished at 222/5.
