Rohit Sharma hit on knee in nets, misses out IPL match against LSG
Lucknow, Apr 4 (PTI): Senior batter Rohit Sharma missed out Mumbai Indians' match against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League here on Friday after he was hit on the knee during a nets session, according to captain Hardik Pandya.
India captain Rohit has been struggling so far this IPL season, having scored 0, 8 and 13 in the three matches he has played.
"Rohit got hit in the knee in nets and he misses out," Pandya said at the toss.
On India and MI pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's likely date of return to competitive cricket, Pandya said, "He should be back soon."
Bumrah suffered a lower-back injury during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney earlier this year.
Meanwhile, India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav got a special jersey for his 100th match for Mumbai Indians.

“Mistake owing to communication gap,” MLA Yatnal clarifies over alleged derogatory speech on Prophet
Vijayapura: Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has denied making any derogatory statement about Prophet Muhammad, clarifying that there was a misstatement during his speech at a Ram Navami event in Hubballi. "I did not speak about Prophet Muhammad. I meant to refer to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but there was a mistake in the speed of speech," he said addressing reporters on Monday.
He alleged that members of the Congress, frustrated by their hooliganism and failure to collect their hafta (extortion) in Vijayapura are using the Prophet as an excuse to speak against me. “There is no culture of denigrating another religion in Hinduism. Our gurus and elders have not taught us that,” he said.
Responding to another controversy involving an audio clip in which he was allegedly threatened, Yatnal said the police are investigating the matter and that those behind it will soon be exposed. “No one can finish me. The Hindus of Karnataka are with me. If someone tries to finish me, the whole state will rise in protest,” he warned.
