The regular Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper, Rohit Sharma has been missing the last four matches for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. He has also been excluded from the Indian squads for the Australia tour owing to a hamstring injury. MI had notified about the type of injury he has suffered but the progress regarding his improvement hasn’t been provided yet. 

There has also been speculation that he could be ruled out of IPL 2020 while the clarity on his injury status is too little. Rohit has also been seen practicing at the nets for Mumbai Indians soon after the Indian squad for the Australia tour was announced. However, stand-in skipper, Kieron Pollard has delivered a positive update.
