MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has confirmed that Rohit Sharma has started batting in the nets in Ahmedabad and is being closely monitored by head coach Mahela Jayawardene along with the medical team.<\/p>\n
Mumbai Indians started IPL 2026 by ending their 13-year winning drought in their first game of the Tata IPL. They defeated Kolkata Knight Riders while chasing a mammoth target of 220 and Rohit Sharma looked in massive touch.<\/p>\n
However, in the next few games, the batsman struggled and faced his toughest challenge while chasing another big target against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury in that game and retired hurt in that game, where MI lost the game by 18 runs.<\/p>\n
Mumbai Indians’ batting unit suffered a major blow as Rohit Sharma was ruled out for the next two matches after the defeat against RCB. Quinton de Kock replaced him in the XI and scored a century in his comeback game with Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n
The Indian maestro is practicing in the nets for the MI team ahead of the match against Gujarat Titans. Their upcoming encounter is against the in-form GT team, who have now won three consecutive matches and will be taking to their home ground with pride.<\/p>\n
Talking about the return of Rohit Sharma, MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey revealed, “Rohit is batting in the nets in Ahmedabad, and continues to be assessed by the medical team and head coach Mahela Jayawardene.”<\/span><\/p>\n Mumbai Indians are eagerly waiting for the return of one of their key players this season. Will Jacques played for them last season as an off-spin bowling all-rounder who came to bat lower down the order.<\/p>\n Playing the same role, he scored many runs and took important wickets for England in the ICC T20 World Cup. Despite no reports of any injury concerns involving the English all-rounder, his return remains doubtful.<\/p>\n MI bowling coach Kieron Pollard has also confirmed his return to the team ahead of the upcoming games. Jack can further strengthen his batting order, also add spin options in the middle overs.<\/p>\n “Will Jacques is expected to join the team soon,” revealed Paras Mhambrey at the pre-match press conference ahead of the match against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. <\/span><\/p>\n Kolkata Knight Riders finally managed to get their first win of the season against Rajasthan Royals in their home match at the Eden Gardens, they now have three points from seven matches and are placed 9th on the points table.<\/p>\n Although MI have played two less matches than the Knights, they have managed just one win and are placed 10th with just 2 points. Despite some close matches, they have now lost four consecutive matches. Bowling form has been a major concern as they have failed to take wickets in all phases of the game.<\/p>\n Also read: “Reflect and learn”: Ajinkya Rahane remains serious after KKR’s first win in IPL 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has confirmed that Rohit Sharma has started batting in the nets in Ahmedabad and is being closely monitored by head coach Mahela Jayawardene along with the medical team.
