Since his retirement from T20 and Test cricket, Sharma is focused on ODIs with an eye on the upcoming ODI World Cup in 2027. Rohit Sharma will hope to play a vital part in MI`s journey towards the IPL title for the first time in 6 years.
MI schedule for the IPL 2026
As the Mumbai Indians (MI) get ready for their IPL 2026 campaign, the search for a record-breaking sixth star officially begins. The five-time winners are in the thick of things early on, juggling high-stakes home games with difficult away journeys after the BCCI recently released the first round of the schedule.
MI, led by Hardik Pandya, will play their first game of the season against the Kolkata Knight Riders on March 29 at their “fortress,” the Wankhede Stadium. They will face the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals before the big game against the defending champions, RCB, at the Wankhede Stadium.
The match versus the reigning champions, RCB, on April 12 is without a doubt the window`s main event. Virat Kohli and RCB will return to Mumbai after their famous win against MI last year. RCB will aim to be just the second team after MI and CSK to defend their IPL title.
MI supporters will hope that the core group of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav can guide the team towards a record sixth IPL title.
