Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma was forced to sit out the first innings vs KKR on Friday owing to some mild stiffness, revealed teammate Piyush Chawla after the game.
Playing as an impact sub, Rohit managed just 11 runs in 12 balls in the second innings during their 24-run loss against KKR, which has nearly put the five-time champions out of the IPL this year.
"He just had a mild back stiffness so it was just a precautionary thing," Chawla told the media after the match here at the Wankhede Stadium.
