Rohit Sharma kept Mumbai together with a controlled half-century, Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2014, Dubai, April 25, 2014 Rohit Sharma has been ruled out for at least four weeks © BCCI Enlarge Related Links Players/Officials: Rohit Sharma Series/Tournaments: Champions League Twenty20 Teams: India | Mumbai Indians Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of Champions League Twenty20 due to multiple injuries. He has been diagnosed with a shoulder problem in addition to the fracture to his finger that he sustained during Indias tour to England. ESPNcricinfo understands that Rohit recently visited the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. Following an assessment, the physiotherapists at NCA ruled Rohit out for at least another four weeks. Rohit is now likely to return to Bangalore later this week to start his rehabilitation programme. It remains to be seen if he will be fit in time for Indias series against West Indies which starts with the first ODI on October 8 in Kochi. Rohits unavailability means Mumbai Indians will be forced to select a new captain for the CLT20. Ever since taking charge from Ricky Ponting midway through the 2013 IPL, Rohit has been leading Mumbai Indians successfully. Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard and Harbhajan Singh are the main contenders for the captains post now. While Harbhajan led Mumbai Indians to their maiden CLT20 triumph in 2011, Pollard and Malinga recently led their respective teams - Barbados Tridents and Southern Express - to domestic titles in Caribbean Premier League and Super Fours, respectively. Mumbai Indians will open their CLT20 campaign with a Qualifiers game against Lahore Lions on September 13. Rohit had fractured the middle finger of his right while fielding in the second ODI in England. He was replaced by M Vijay.
