Mumbai Indians Await Rohit Sharma’s Return Ahead of LSG Clash

Mumbai Indians, sitting ninth, are set to face Lucknow Super Giants, who occupy the bottom spot, in an IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium. Both teams have only two wins from nine and eight matches respectively and are desperate to reverse their fortunes. The Indians’ campaign has been hampered by inconsistent performances from Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and captain Hardik Pandya, and the absence of captain Rohit Sharma due to a hamstring injury has added to the uncertainty. Rohit has not played since a hamstring tear in a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and has missed three subsequent games. Though he was seen batting in nets before the LSG fixture, Mumbai has yet to confirm his availability for the match. newssport.cv
