Rohit Sharma underwent an MRI scan at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai on Monday morning, April 13, 2026. The scan was necessary to assess the severity of a hamstring injury he sustained during the Mumbai Indians' IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 12. He visited the hospital accompanied by Mumbai Indians physio Nitin Patel.

The scan results are expected by late evening today, Monday, April 13. Rohit retired hurt on 19 runs (13 balls) in the sixth over of the chase at Wankhede Stadium after his right hamstring was heavily strapped on the field. His availability for the upcoming match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Thursday, April 16, depends on these results and subsequent fitness drills scheduled for Tuesday.

Sharma has made a strong start to IPL 2026, scoring 137 runs in four matches at an average of 45.67 and an explosive strike rate of 165.06. His season was interrupted by a hamstring injury sustained during Mumbai Indians' most recent match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on 12 April, where he was forced to retire hurt.

 

MI’s third loss in the tournament

Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered their third consecutive loss in IPL 2026 on Sunday, April 12, falling to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 18 runs at the Wankhede Stadium. Chasing a mammoth target of 241, Mumbai Indians were restricted to 222/5 in their 20 overs. Explosive half-centuries from Phil Salt (78), Rajat Patidar (53), and Virat Kohli (50) powered RCB to 240/4, the highest IPL total ever recorded at Wankhede Stadium.

The chase suffered a major blow when Rohit Sharma retired hurt for 19 in the sixth over due to a hamstring strain.Impact substitute Sherfane Rutherford smashed an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls (including 9 sixes), but his heroic effort proved too little, too late. After a winning start against KKR, Mumbai Indians have now lost three straight games and sit 8th on the points table. Mumbai Indians will next face the Punjab Kings on Thursday, April 16, at Wankhede Stadium.
