Rohit Sharma awaits scan results after hamstring scare halts bright start

Rohit Sharma will undergo scans to determine the extent of a suspected hamstring injury, with his availability for Mumbai Indians’ clash against Punjab Kings on April 16 dependent on the results. The 38‑year‑old retired hurt during Sunday night’s game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, leaving the field in the sixth over after making nineteen from thirteen balls, including two fours and a six. He had received treatment from the team physio before that over began, returned to face one delivery, blocked it, and then immediately walked off.

Mumbai have confirmed only that Rohit is dealing with a hamstring issue, while teammate Sherfane Rutherford admitted he had limited information from the dugout. Rohit has started the season well with 137 runs in four matches, including a half‑century, and looked in strong rhythm before the setback. With Mumbai losing three of their first four games, the franchise will be desperate for the experience of their long‑serving talisman.
