Mumbai Indians received a boost as Rohit Sharma had an extended batting session in the nets and is deemed ‘fit’ by bowling coach Paras Mhambrey. However, a decision on his availability for the crucial match against Gujarat Titans will be made at the toss on Monday. With just one win in five games, MI is looking to turn their campaign around against a strong Titans team on a challenging surface.
Mhambrey emphasized the importance of unity and hard work in overcoming their current situation. He assured that there is no panic in the team and they are focused on playing their best cricket to secure victories. Quinton de Kock filled in for Rohit in the previous match and scored a century, but the team will need more consistency from players like Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.
The bowling department has also been a concern for MI, with their star recruits failing to make a significant impact. Mitchell Santner is expected to return for the match against Titans after missing the previous game due to illness. Titans, on the other hand, have been in good form with five wins from eight games, led by Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler.
Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna have been impressive for Titans and will look to exploit MI’s struggles. The match is crucial for Mumbai Indians as they aim to climb up the points table and get their campaign back on track. Published on Apr 19, 2026.
