Will Rohit Sharma retire?

A post is going viral on social media. It was claimed that Rohit Sharma is completely fit now, but the management of Mumbai Indians does not want to play him. The post cited reports that if Rohit Sharma wants, Mumbai can also release him next season. Since Rohit does not want to play for any other franchise, he will announce his retirement from IPL.

Let us tell you that all the claims made in this viral post are wrong. Recently, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene had given an update saying that Rohit is recovering quickly, but his return to the field is possible only after getting the green signal from the medical team. This statement clearly shows that the team management is expecting his soon return and is not thinking of releasing him.

It has been almost 3 weeks since Rohit Sharma came on the field. Let us tell you that hamstring injury may take a few weeks to several months to heal. If the hamstring injury is more serious, then even a world-class athlete like Rohit Sharma may take 1-2 months to recover from it.
