Rohit Sharma amps up training, set for return in MI vs SRH clash after injury layoff
Rohit Sharma has intensified training and is likely to be available for the Mumbai Indians against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. His return would allow Mumbai Indians to reset an unsettled opening combination after his hamstring lay-off.
Rohit Sharma has stepped up his training ahead of a possible return for the Mumbai Indians in their clash against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on April 29. Rohit has been out of action since April 12 after suffering a hamstring injury during the Mumbai Indians' loss to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Mumbai.
Since then, Rohit has been working closely with the medical team and support staff in an effort to return to the field. India Today has learnt that the former India captain is very likely to be available for selection for the match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rohit has been training and doing gym work without any issues, and the physios are optimistic that he should be available for the game. He has not reported any pain or discomfort during his rehabilitation so far.
ROHIT HITS THE NETS
Mumbai Indians went on a break after their loss to Chennai Super Kings in Jamnagar and returned to their base in Mumbai on April 26. An optional training session was held later that evening, and Rohit was among the players who chose to spend time in the nets.
Rohit was joined in the session by Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and others. The former India captain was seen batting with intent in the nets and appeared to be in good rhythm as he moved closer to a return.
In Rohit's absence, Mumbai Indians have tried a couple of combinations at the top of the order. Quinton de Kock scored a hundred after replacing Rohit at the top, but has not made an impact with the bat since then. Danish Malewar, who partnered De Kock in the last few games, has scored just two runs so far and is expected to make way once Rohit returns.
The former Mumbai Indians skipper has scored 137 runs in four matches at an average of 45.67, and he is now very likely to be available for selection for the Sunrisers Hyderabad match.
