Delhi: The journey of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 has been disappointing so far. Mi has won only one win in 4 matches, which came against Kolkata Knight Riders. The biggest setback for the team is the absence of veteran fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. Now a new problem for the team is the injury to former captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit did not land against Lucknow Super Giants. During the toss, captain Hardik Pandya confirmed that Rohit had a knee injury. Now Mi’s head coach Jayawardene has given updates on this.
Jayawardene gave updates on Rohit
Mahela Jayawardene told in the press conference, “Rohit tried to bat yesterday, but it was difficult for him to bear the knee. This morning he gave another fitness test, but still he felt hurt. So we decided to give him a few more days for recovery. What happened in the nets was unfortunate.”
Rohit’s performance in IPL 2025
Rohit’s performance so far has been very poor this season. He has scored only 21 runs in three matches, with his scores 0, 8 and 13. His last match in IPL 2025 was against Kolkata Knight Riders, in which he landed as a substitute player.
MI is in dire need of Rohit at this time because the team has been able to score only two points and is at the seventh position in the points table. Now his next match will be held on 7 April at the Wankhede Stadium against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
If Rohit does not play in this match, then Mumbai will have to make a strategy again in their opening pair and middle order. Captain Hardik Pandya is already under pressure and the team needs a strict need to win.
