Rohit Sharma falling under the bat scrutiny is not new. There was a time when he literally showed the umpire how to check the bat bulge. However, today, Ro became a bit impatient and rather angry with the umpire after he failed to pass the ring through his bat. This happened when the Mumbai Indians went to chase.
Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton walked to open when they were stopped at the boundary for a routine bat-measurement check. As the ring was not passing through the bat, the umpire tried his best to pass it. And Rohit became irritated. The entire process went on for a minute before he turned back and asked for the bat to get changed. Meanwhile, Ryan's bat easily passed through the ring.

Meanwhile Rohit Sharma decided to retire out after scoring 19 runs. MI was already chasing a mammoth total of 240 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium. Rohit was suffering from a right hamstring injury, showing signs of discomfort from the fourth over. He was limping while running between the wickets.
At the end of the fifth over, he received treatment and heavy strapping on his right hamstring from the team physio. He attempted to continue and faced one delivery in the sixth over bowled by Rasikh Salam Dar, but after realizing his movement was too compromised to score freely, he opted to walk off the field.
