The 47th match of IPL 2026 is to be played between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. Before this match, a big update is coming out on Rohit Sharma. It is reported that Mumbai Indians have left it to Rohit Sharma to decide whether to play against Lucknow Super Giants or not. Meaning now Rohit Sharma has to decide what he will do?
Rohit Sharma is continuously out of the playing eleven of Mumbai Indians due to hamstring injury. But, there is a possibility of him playing in the match against Lucknow Super Giants.
Rohit will have a fitness test before the match against Lucknow Super Giants. If he passes that test then he can be expected to play.The good news is that Rohit Sharma has batted for hours in the nets. In such a situation, there is scope to pass the fitness drill before the match. But according to the report of Cricbuzz, the final decision on playing or not playing against Lucknow Super Giants will be his. The Mumbai team management has left this decision only to Rohit.
If Rohit Sharma plays, it will be a better sign from Mumbai Indians' point of view. If he becomes available, he will be seen replacing Robin Minz in Mumbai Indians. With the arrival of Rohit, the opening pair of Mumbai Indians will also change. Then Rohit and Rickleton will open while Will Jacques can get the first down.
Mumbai Indians have played 9 matches so far in IPL 2026, in which Rohit Sharma has appeared in only 4 matches. That means he is out of the last 5 matches due to hamstring injury.
In those 4 matches, Rohit has scored 137 runs at a strike rate of 165.06 and an average of more than 45 with one half-century.
