MI Vs RCB, IPL 2026: Mumbai's Chase Derails As Rohit Sharma Retires Hurt After A Brisk Start

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton gave the Mumbai Indians a fiery start, scoring 57 runs in just 5.2 overs, while chasing a mammoth 241-run target at the Wankhede Stadium.

However, unfortunately, after the second ball of the sixth over, Rohit suffered an issue in his hamstring and called the physio on the ground, who tapped his right hamstring heavily to provide temporary respite to the MI opener.

While Rohit Sharma tried to carry on, he could not, and after the delivery, one of the players decided to leave the field. It turned out to be a big blow for the hosts, who were going strongly until then, as the break interrupted the flow of runs, and one of their dangerous batters got retired hurt.

Rohit Sharma was batting at 19 off 13 balls, including two boundaries and one six, when he left the field in pain.
