IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma could return to action for Mumbai Indians (MI) in their upcoming Indian Premier League 2026 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. A team spokesperson confirmed that Rohit is progressing in his recovery and a final decision on his availability to be taken at the toss. “He continues to progress. Any call on his availability (in the game versus SRH) would be taken at the toss tomorrow,” the MI spokesperson said as quoted by RevSportz.
Rohit has missed the last three matches due to a hamstring injury sustained during Mumbai’s home defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12. In his absence, the team has struggled to settle on a consistent opening combination, trying multiple options without significant success.
According to the several media reports, Rohit has resumed gym training without discomfort, and the franchise’s medical staff is optimistic about his availability for the next fixture. He has been undergoing rehabilitation under the supervision of team physios and is steadily regaining full fitness.
Despite missing recent games, Rohit remains Mumbai’s fourth-leading run-scorer this season, with 137 runs at an average of 45.66 and a strike rate of 165.06. His return is expected to bolster Mumbai’s batting unit as the five-time champions look to revive their campaign.
The Hardik Pandya-led side currently placed eighth on the points table with two wins from seven matches, following a heavy 103-run defeat to CSK. As the second half of the season underway, the team faces a must-win situation to stay in contention for the playoffs.
