Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma is all but out of the IPL 2026 clash against Punjab Kings, owing to a hamstring injury. While batting against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the veteran complained of the issue and was forced to retire hurt. He was expected to get back to full fitness before the Punjab match, but Rohit is still having problems and for the same reason, the team management is not expected to take a risk. There was little chance of him playing as an Impact Player, but during the practice session on Wednesday, he was spotted struggling with the injury while running, which indicates that the team may try a different opening combination.
