Mumbai Indians fans have received a good news. Bowling coach Paras Mambre has given a crucial update on the fitness of key player Rohit Sharma for the Mumbai team, which is reeling from a losing streak in IPL 2026. In fact, injuries have become a major problem for Mumbai Indians, who are at the bottom of the points table. While Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury in the match against RCB, Mitchell Santner missed the last match due to illness. However, before the crucial match against Gujarat Titans today, the coach has given positive signals regarding the re-entry of both of them.
What does coach Paras Mambre say..
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Paras Mambre said, “Both Rohit Sharma and Santner are fit right now. Rohit was seen practicing batting in the nets. Santner is also fully recovered.” But there is still a little suspense about Rohit getting on the field. Even though Rohit practiced before the match against Punjab Kings, Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya said that it will take one or two more matches for the hitman to recover. Judging by this, Rohit is likely to enter the ring only if he is fully 100% fit. Today (Monday) Mumbai will take on Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In fact, the match is not coming to Mumbai in this stadium. So far, Mumbai have not beaten Gujarat even once in the matches played here. In this background, the fans feel that the arrival of Rohit is very necessary for the team. At the same time, Quinton de Kock, who came into the team in the absence of Rohit, came into form with a wonderful century.
