Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma made a return to the side after missing the previous four matches because of a hamstring injury. After the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), he also confirmed his availability for the playoffs since there were a lot of speculations over fitness.

However, Rohit was not included in  India's squad for the upcoming Australia tour citing injury concerns, but with him returning to the field for MI, the fans are now questioning BCCI's decision to leave him out.

The 33-year-old scored four runs in his comeback match and the outcome of the game was also not in his favor. SRH defeated MI by 10 wickets and chased down the target of 150 in just 17.1 overs without losing a wicket.

Here are the reactions from Rohit fans:
