Indian cricket fans were surprised by news of captain Rohit Sharma experiencing back stiffness, raising doubts about his T20 World Cup availability. Taking Precautions: Rohit Sharma Sits Out Against KKR During Mumbai Indians’ clash against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rohit Sharma was absent from the main XI, surprising many. Despite being the second-highest run-scorer for MI in IPL 2024, he was included only as an impact substitute.
Former MI captain Rohit Sharma managed to score 11 runs off 12 balls in the second innings. However, Kolkata Knight Riders secured a 24-run victory over the Mumbai Indians.
MI Star Confirms Rohit’s Back Issue In a post-match interview, veteran spinner Piyush Chawla, Rohit Sharma’s teammate at MI, shed light on Rohit’s absence. Chawla stated, “He just had a mild back stiffness; it was a precaution.”
Focus Shifts to T20 World Cup Preparations As Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2024 playoff chances diminish, Rohit Sharma can prioritize rest for the remaining three matches. With Team India set to kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland on June 5, the nation eagerly anticipates a fit Rohit Sharma leading the team.
History of Back Issues This isn’t the first time Rohit Sharma has faced back troubles. In March, during the final Test against England, Rohit Sharma suffered an injury scare, sidelining him due to a stiff back.
With the T20 World Cup looming, fans fervently hope for Rohit’s swift recovery and pivotal role in guiding Team India to glory.
