Delhi: Rohit Sharma was seen tied on the right knee before the match between Mumbai Indians (Mi) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday. The former MI captain took part in the fitness routine on Saturday, but he was seen practicing very slowly. He also practiced batting in the evening. Rohit, 37, was also seen taking massage during the practice session on Friday. However, the session was interrupted due to a dust storm. Rohit took care of his knee for most of the time and kept talking to captain Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah and medical staff.
In this IPL season, Rohit has already missed a match. Against April 4 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). At that time, captain Hardik Pandya had told that before the match, Rohit suffered a knee injury, due to which he could not land on the field. Team coach Mahela Jayawardene gave more information about this.
He said, “Row was hurt near the IT (Ilyotibial) band in the knee. He tried to bat yesterday, but was not able to give weight on his leg. He did a fitness test again this morning, but he was still feeling uncomfortable, so he refused to play. We want him to get down on the field completely, so he has been given some more days.”
However, on 7 April, Rohit played the match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and scored 17 runs, but it would not be wrong to say that he is still not completely cured. India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma’s IPL 2025 season has not started well. He has scored only 38 runs in four innings and has an average of 9.50.
The team of Mumbai Indians has not been able to catch the rhythm yet. He has so far won only one in five matches and is in eighth position in 10 teams in the points table. The team hopes that by winning against the Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, they will be able to JAA in the points table.
