Rohit Sharma is all set to return to the cricket field after he joined the Mumbai Indians’ pre-season training camp at the Wankhede stadium. The dashing India batsman was out of competitive cricket for five months after he sustained a thigh injury during the ODI series against New Zealand in October 2016.
Following the injury, Rohit had to undergo surgery in England which kept him out of all cricket. However, he recovered and played two matches for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Andhra and Goa. But, the Mumbai Indians skipper missed the Deodhar Trophy as he suffered a knee injury.

He is the highest run-scorer for Mumbai Indians with 2704 runs at an average of 35. He led the team to IPL title wins in 2013 and 2015 as well as Champions League success in 2013.
