Mumbai Indians (MI) have received a boost ahead of their 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Gujarat Titans (GT) with Rohit Sharma returning to the nets after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during a game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Although he was ruled out of a subsequent match against Punjab Kings, Rohit's progress has been promising, as he displayed his trademark strokeplay during practice in Ahmedabad. The team is monitoring his fitness closely before making a final decision on his availability for the match. MI currently sits at the bottom of the IPL table with just two points after four consecutive losses, making Rohit's potential return crucial for their campaign. In his absence, Quinton de Kock excelled, scoring 112 runs against Punjab Kings, and if Rohit is cleared to play, he is expected to open alongside de Kock.
