The Indian star Rohit Sharma has already hit the nets of the Mumbai Indians before the 2026 Indian Premier League. The franchise has posted a video of the former captain batting against his Mumbai teammate Shardul Thakur. Rohit perfectly middled a full-length ball from Shardul Thakur with his straight bat. And then he started teasing Shardul repeatedly asking to catch the ball, but in the stands.

In 2025 IPL, due to a persistent niggle from the 2025 Champions Trophy, the coach of the side, Mahela Jayawardene, used Rohit Sharma as a specialist batter only. Rohit Sharma opened the batting for the side as an Impact substitute. He played 15 matches last season, scoring 418 runs at a strike rate of around 149.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indian got the all-rounder Shardul Thakur with an all-cash deal from Lucknow Super Giants in November last year.

Mumbai Indian journey in 2025 IPL
Mumbai Indians staged one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the Indian Premier League 2025 season after a difficult start. Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, the side lost four of their first five matches, including the opener against Chennai Super Kings, leaving their campaign in serious trouble early in the tournament.
The turning point arrived with the return of Jasprit Bumrah, whose presence strengthened the bowling attack. Mumbai responded with a six-match winning streak, highlighted by a 100-run win over Rajasthan Royals and a commanding nine-wicket victory against Chennai.
Mumbai sealed their playoff spot with a 59-run win over Delhi Capitals, finishing the league stage fourth with eight wins and 16 points. They defeated Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in the Eliminator before their run ended with a five-wicket loss to Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2.
