Rohit Sharma is planning to undergo surgery to address his ongoing left hamstring injury, which he has been dealing with for several years. His focus is on the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup.
As one of India's key players over the last decade, Rohit has led the national team for quite some time. He previously sustained an injury five years ago, but was delayed in treating it in order to manage his workload, as he played in all formats for India until last year.
Rohit Sharma aim for 2027 World Cup
Last year, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20I cricket after winning the title as captain. Recently, he also announced his retirement from Test cricket and is now concentrating on playing in the ODI format. His goal is to achieve significant success in the format and extend his career until the 2027 World Cup.
India's team is scheduled to play an ODI series against Bangladesh in August; however, the series' future is now uncertain due to inflammatory comments from Bangladeshi officials regarding India. Following this series, the 50-over Asia Cup is also scheduled for September, but its future is in jeopardy amid the India-Pakistan border conflict.
Given these circumstances, Rohit Sharma plans to take this time to undergo surgery, aiming for a recovery period of three to four months, according to reports. This season, he has not been fielding in most matches due to his hamstring issues, as indicated by the Mumbai Indians management.
Currently, Rohit Sharma's priority is to finish IPL 2025 before proceeding with the surgery. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians are striving to qualify for the playoffs as they face the Delhi Capitals in a live match at Wankhede Stadium. It was another quiet outing for Rohit Sharma, as he was dismissed for 5 runs off 5 balls by Mustafizur Rahman. Stay tuned for more highlights
