Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been reported injured during the last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Mumbai Indians played their last against Lucknow Super Giants where LSG batting first scored 204 runs. In reply, MI was too close to chase the target and Surya Kumar's 62 runs were not enough to pull the target as Tilak Verma added enough pressure to the game for other upcoming batsmen. 
Rohit Sharma's campaign didn't start with a good start he was out early against Chennai Super Kings where he scored 0. In the second match against GT he scored just 8 runs, In the third game against Kolkata he played a ball game where he scored 13 runs in 12 balls. It gives a feeling either Rohit Sharma is really out of form or out of runs, because a few days ago in the Champions Trophy final the same man played an innings of 76 runs and helped Indio clinch their third Champions Trophy

Mumbai Indians Position On Worst Course
Rohit Sharma injured his knee during the net sessions before the Lucknow match and stated that he would be on the doctor's advice to get monitored. Team coach Mahela Jayawardene said tho got hit on the knee just in the IT band, he tried to bat yesterday and could not put any weight on it. Again, he came and did a fitness test early today to try and it was discomfort for him to put weight on that, so he felt it was 100% for him to play this game. That's why we thought we would give him a few more days to try and get through that. Unfortunately, what happened in the nets.

It's been clear that Rohit Sharma will take time to recover himself. He has mentioned early about his weight gains though he is been taking measures but gives a temporary solution. Now it's high time to think about Mumbai Indians with whom they can fit the opening slot they have a variety of options but the challenge is who will be fit in the squad which has one position left.
