IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma Skips Mumbai Indians Practice Match

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma was among the players who did not get any practice game as Mumbai Indians kicked off their IPL 2024 season with an away game against Gujarat Titans on Sunday. 

Mumbai Indians conducted their first practice intra-squad game without spectators at Mumbai on Wednesday before leaving for Ahmedabad. But Rohit wasn't part of the group match.

The team’s statement said that the main player is now doing his own "customized training program which covers the simulation of training nets, mobility, and strength and conditioning sessions' before the next season.

Why Rohit Sharma Misses MI Practice ?

Rohit Sharma, who joined the squad on Monday, is currently on a customized training program that includes simulated net sessions, mobility, and conditioning exercises for the last 3 days, thus staying in Mumbai to focus on his pre-season program. Rohit is not part of the practice game - as declared by MI in their media statement.

While practice matches help players get into the swing of things ahead of the competition, Rohit's customized approach underscores how much emphasis is being placed on the fitness and conditioning of individual players in contemporary cricket.

All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma to see if his specific training pays off on the field as the opening game against the Gujarat Titans approaches.

Fans and commentators alike will undoubtedly discuss his commitment to a rigorous pre-season schedule, regardless of whether he wins or loses with the Mumbai Indians.
