Rohit Sharma's IPL 2026 campaign so far
Rohit Sharma, who has retired from T20Is and Tests, is currently with the Mumbai Indians (MI), who are aiming for a record sixth Indian Premier League (IPL) title.
The 38-year-old began his IPL 2026 career with a knock of 78 runs from 38 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the first match. He then followed it up with a knock of 35 against Delhi Capitals (DC) and was dismissed for just five runs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a rain-curtailed match in Guwahati.
Mumbai Indians are currently reeling in eighth place with just two points from three matches. They began their IPL 2026 campaign with a six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders, but went on to lose their next two matches against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals.
The five-time champions will next take on defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
