Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli suffer injury scares at Wankhede; one doesn’t take field, other retires hurt

Rohit was seen struggling with his hamstring and eventually walked off, bringing Suryakumar Yadav to the middle. Before the start of the sixth over, Rohit received treatment from the physio; however, a few balls later, he decided to walk off as he continued to witness pain in the hamstring. Rohit retired hurt after scoring 19 runs off 13 balls.

Speaking of Virat, despite suffering an injury, the RCB management opted not to sub him out as Tim David made way for Rasikh Salam Dar as the impact sub. However, Jacob Bethell was seen fielding for RCB, and the commentators then confirmed that Kohli was out of the field due to an ankle injury.

Earlier, RCB were asked to bat first by Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya. The visitors posted 240/4 in 20 overs owing to half-centuries by Kohli, Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar. Of all the batters from RCB, Kohli had the second-lowest strike rate, and he vented frustration after being dismissed by Hardik Pandya.
