The opener Rohit Sharma returned to the game after missing four matches due to a hamstring injury. \u201cI was happy to be back, it\u2019s been a while. I\u2019m looking forward to play few more games here, let\u2019s see what happens. It (hamstring) is fine, absolutely,\u201d said Rohit Sharma\u00a0 after their 10-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL on Tuesday. Rohit Sharma returned to the game after two-week on a day when BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, in an interview to PTI, suggested not to rush his comeback from what he called a \u201chamstring tear\u201d.<\/p>\n
Due to the injury, Rohit Sharma was not included in the Indian squad for the Australian tour. According to Mumbai Indians (MI) team management, Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring strain in his left leg in the games against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). When asked about Rohit Sharma\u2019s health during the toss, he said: \u201cLooks like I\u2019m fit and fine\u201d. Talking about the hammering Mumbai Indians (MI) received by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Rohit Sharma said it was a game to forget and not remember, ahead of the Qualifier 1 against Delhi Capitals on Thursday. \u201cNot the day we want to remember, probably our worst performance of the season. We wanted to try a few things, it didn\u2019t go our way. We knew dew was going to play a factor and we wanted to take the toss out of consideration, but we didn\u2019t play good cricket today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Talking about the key bowlers Rohit said: \u201cThey played good shots in the powerplay, and that helped them. If you take wickets in the powerplay, even if there is dew, it can put pressure on the opposition. <\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s a very funny format. It\u2019s always nice to forget what has happened, and focus on the present. They (Delhi) are a good side, so it will be a good challenge to face them,\u201d added Rohit Sharma.<\/span><\/p>\n Mumbai Indians (MI) will now face Delhi Capitals (DC) in the first qualifier.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rohit Sharma made his return in the game, but missed last four matches due to his injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":39501,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[587,598,286,769,625],"class_list":["post-18785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-delhi-capitals","tag-jasprit-bumrah","tag-mumbai-indians","tag-sunrisers-hyderabad","tag-trent-boult"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
