While sick, Rohit is expected to be available for Mumbai Indians’ opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2.
“He was unwell and thus could not travel to Ahmedabad for the pre-IPL captains’ meeting and photoshoot. He is, however, likely to be available for MI’s opening game in IPL-2023 against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2,” a reliable source told TOI.
Rohit addressed MI’s pre-tournament media interaction on Wednesday in Mumbai.
