Rohit Sharma Ruled Out Of MI vs PBKS Clash

According to a report by Cricbuzz, star batter Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the Mumbai Indians’ upcoming clash against the Punjab Kings (PBKS).

Mumbai Indians will lock horns with Punjab Kings in the 24th match of the IPL 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, April 16.

The report further stated that the extent of Rohit’s hamstring injury will be revealed by the Mumbai-based franchise during the pre-match press conference ahead of their clash against Punjab Kings.

The former MI skipper sustained the injury during their previous fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday, April 12, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Mumbai-based franchise suffered an 18-run defeat to RCB in that match.
