The Mumbai Indians, five-time champions and joint-most successful team in IPL history, have two crucial league matches remaining: against Delhi Capitals on May 21 at the Wankhede Stadium, and against Punjab Kings on May 26 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
In preparation, Rohit joined MI teammates including Tilak Varma, Karn Sharma, Mitchell Santner, and Robin Minz for a training session at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday evening. The franchise shared glimpses of the net session on its official social media handles, with fans delighted to see Rohit back in action.
After a quiet start to the season, Rohit found his rhythm in style. He scored an unbeaten 76 against Chennai Super Kings on April 20 and followed it up with a 70-run match-winning knock versus Sunrisers Hyderabad. He continued his purple patch with a 53-run innings against Rajasthan Royals, sharing a 116-run opening partnership with Ryan Rickelton (61 off 38), leading MI to a thumping 100-run victory.
With six IPL titles to his name, Rohit remains a vital figure in MI’s campaign under skipper Hardik Pandya, as the team looks to secure a spot in the playoffs.
