IPL 2026, MI vs GT Today Match: Mumbai Indians have received a boost ahead of their Indian Premier League 2026 clash against Gujarat Titans, but uncertainty remains over the availability of Rohit Sharma for today’s match at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Rohit, who missed the previous game against Punjab Kings due to a hamstring injury sustained during the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has returned to training and was seen batting in the nets ahead of the fixture. Mumbai Indians bowling coach Paras Mhambrey offered a positive update but did not confirm Rohit’s inclusion in the playing XI.
“Both (Rohit Sharma and Mitchell Santner) are fit. If you look at Rohit’s batting in the nets, he is working on it. Santner is also fit. We missed him in the last game due to illness, but both are fit now,” Mhambrey said during the pre-match press conference.
Despite the encouraging signs, the team management is not rushing into a decision. Hamstring injuries are known for their risk of recurrence, and Mumbai are expected to take a cautious approach before clearing him for match action.
According to the media reports, head coach Mahela Jayawardene and the medical staff are continuing to assess his condition. The final call will depend on whether he clears all fitness parameters before the toss.
Mumbai Indians are currently at the bottom of the points table and are seeking a turnaround in their campaign. Rohit’s presence at the top of the order could provide stability, although the team showed promise in his absence with Quinton de Kock scoring a century in the previous game.
For now, the signs remain positive but inconclusive. Rohit Sharma is back in the nets and building match fitness, but his participation will depend on a final assessment before the toss.
