Rohit Sharma is likely to be ruled out for up to three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Mumbai Indians\u2019 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The opener retired hurt after a brief 19, showing visible discomfort as he walked off the field.<\/p>\n
Rohit set for extended break after hamstring scare<\/strong><\/p>\n As per reports, scans have not revealed any major tear, but franchise insiders indicate that the team physio has advised at least 25 days of rest. Rohit also missed a recent net session, which has further raised doubts about his availability for the upcoming fixture against Punjab Kings.<\/p>\n While the injury may not be serious, the management is expected to take a cautious approach. As per reports, a final call on his return could depend on how he responds over the next few days. Should MI risk bringing him back early, or avoid any chance of aggravating the injury?<\/p>\n MI face key decisions as batting unit under pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n Rohit\u2019s absence leaves a gap at the top. He had formed a steady opening pair with Ryan Rickelton, and breaking that combination could affect early momentum. As per reports, Quinton de Kock remains an option, though his inclusion would impact the overseas balance.<\/p>\n The concern, however, extends beyond the top order. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya have not been consistent, leaving the side short of runs despite their strong lineup on paper.<\/p>\n MI are unlikely to rush Rohit back, especially with a long season ahead. But with results not going their way, can they afford to manage without their most experienced batter for an extended period?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rohit Sharma is likely to be ruled out for up to three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Mumbai\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":47138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48689","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\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48689"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48689\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48702,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48689\/revisions\/48702"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
