IPL 2026: 'Mumbai Indians Have Certainly Missed Rohit Sharma,' Says Aakash Chopra
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has pointed to the absence of veteran opener Rohit Sharma as a key reason behind the struggles of the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, following their heavy 103-run defeat to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
Mumbai Indians' most successful captain and opener Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury sustained against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The injury forced him to retire hurt, leading to him missing matches against the Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings. “They have certainly missed Rohit Sharma. Without strong starts, chasing totals in the 210–220 range becomes very difficult,” Chopra told Jio Hotstar.
He further noted that key senior batters, including India's T20 World Cup champions Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, have failed to deliver consistently. “Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya haven’t contributed enough so far. While there have been positives like Tilak Varma’s hundred, the rest of the batting unit needs to step up,” he said.
