Since then, Rohit has been making a steady comeback and has appeared in multiple online sessions in recent days.The 38-year-old took part in training at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday but did not bat. Instead, he focused on light warm-ups and running drills under the supervision of his support staff, then had lengthy discussions on the sidelines before leaving the field.While his gradual improvement is a positive sign, MI seems wary of rushing him back into the game.
