Rohit Sharma will miss Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2026 clash against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday, April 16.

Rohit misses the match with a hamstring injury that forced him to retire hurt in Mumbai Indians’ last outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday.

“The medical staff is assessing him… An official update will be given when available,” said MI batter Naman Dhir in the pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

Rohit reportedly underwent scans after the game and had skipped training on Monday.

His place at the top of the order is expected to be taken by Quinton de Kock.
