The franchise is understood to be targeting the April 29 fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad, having kept him sidelined since the injury first surfaced earlier in the month.<\/p>\n<h2>Rohit\u2019s injury timeline and expected comeback<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Rohit is currently recovering from a right hamstring injury.<\/li>\n<li>He last played on April 12, during Mumbai Indians\u2019 home match versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru.<\/li>\n<li>Since then, he has missed three matches: games against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Chennai Super Kings.<\/li>\n<li>Mumbai Indians and Rohit\u2019s support team chose not to push him back early to avoid any worsening of the injury.<\/li>\n<li>Team sources indicate he is progressing well and is in line to feature in the April 29 home encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Work with MI staff fuels optimism<\/h2>\n<p>As his recovery continues, there is a growing belief inside the Mumbai camp that Rohit will be ready for the next match. It is reported that he has been putting in fitness work with the club\u2019s trainers and coaches, and the internal mood has shifted toward confidence rather than caution.<\/p>\n<p>One source close to the situation said, \u201cRohit is working hard in the middle to get back to full fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rohit has also started the season strongly, having once even held the Orange Cap. In four appearances this campaign, he has accumulated 137 runs, including a fifty, at a strike rate of 165\u2014numbers Mumbai Indians will likely want to lean on as the tournament moves deeper.<\/p>\n<h2>After the CSK loss, MI face a pressure second half<\/h2>\n<p>Momentum has taken a hit for Mumbai Indians after a heavy defeat on Thursday. They suffered a 103-run loss to Chennai Super Kings, a result that dented morale and intensified the urgency for the remaining matches.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mumbai Indians were beaten by 103 runs by Chennai Super Kings on Thursday.<\/li>\n<li>At the halfway point of the season, they are placed eighth.<\/li>\n<li>The franchise has recorded two wins from seven games so far.<\/li>\n<li>With playoff chances still alive, they now need to build momentum in the second half.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Coach Mahela Jayawardene on the team\u2019s approach<\/h3>\n<p>After the CSK game, head coach Mahela Jayawardene stressed that results will depend on executing consistently over the next stretch of fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI feel that if we play our best cricket, we have a great chance, but the confidence, the focus, and the discipline have to be there for the next seven games. Well, I don\u2019t know yet whether we need to win all seven, but obviously, starting off, I would like to do that &#8211; but let\u2019s see how the tournament goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Break and schedule: squad bonding in Jamnagar<\/h2>\n<p>In the wake of the defeat, the MI players have been granted a brief break. The squad has flown to Jamnagar for a bonding session, before returning on Sunday. After that, they will resume practice ahead of Wednesday\u2019s match, keeping preparations on track for the crucial phase of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rohit
