Ahead of Mumbai Indians’ next IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday, May 4, former captain Rohit Sharma found himself embroiled in a new incident. The incident occurred during MI’s net practice session at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, May 3.<\/p>\n
During the session, it was reported that Rohit had accidentally hit a groundsman while practicing one of his shots. Injured groundsman Siban Biswas spoke to Mid-Day about the incident.<\/p>\n
“When Rohit Sharma sir asked us to remove the off-side net, we did so and stood to the side. Just then, when I was wrapping the rope and not paying attention to the nearby players, the ball hit my left knee.” <\/span><\/p>\n “Rohit sir immediately came and asked about the injury, but I told him to continue batting and not get worried. Still, he returned with an ice pack and also sent me some medicine and a spray to apply on my leg,” said the 27-year-old Biswas. “<\/span>It was mixed emotions… although there was pain in my knee, but it also feels good because I got a chance to shake hands with Rohit sir,\u201d Biswas said.<\/span><\/p>\n Rohit made a strong start to the season with a brilliant inning of 78 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, but he has been able to play only 4 matches. <\/span>On 12 April, during the fourth match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rohit Sharma injured his toe and had to leave the field. Since then, his return to the field has been delayed due to a hamstring injury. <\/span><\/p>\n Rohit has so far scored 137 runs in 4 matches at an average of 45.67 and a strike rate of 165, with one half-century and a high score of 78. <\/span>In his absence, MI have been unable to find stability at the top of the order, having tried three different opening pairs in the five matches since his departure. <\/span><\/p>\n Also Read: Will Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah miss MI vs LSG IPL 2026 clash? Latest update came out<\/span><\/p>\n Not just their opening, Mumbai Indians are struggling in every department in IPL 2026. With just 2 wins from 9 matches, they are last on the points table. <\/span><\/p>\n Most of their big stars, like Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, are out of form. Due to this, the playoff hopes of Mumbai Indians have been completely shattered. <\/span><\/p>\n MI now have less than a slim chance of qualifying for the playoffs, even if they win all their matches from here. The string of losses has also forced their net run rate to take a serious hit.<\/span><\/p>\n MI is currently on a three-match losing streak. On May 4, they will face tenth-placed Lucknow Supergiants at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. <\/span><\/p>\n LSG themselves are struggling badly in the season, with 2 wins from 8 matches and the worst net run rate in the league. The Rishabh Pant-led team is currently on a losing streak in five matches. <\/span>MI vs LSG is likely to be a clash to avoid tenth place rather than strengthen either team’s playoff chances. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ahead of Mumbai Indians’ next IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday, May 4, former captain Rohit Sharma found himself embroiled in a new incident.
