"Even before he got injured as well, we used him in a couple of games. He fielded a few games, he was impacted like I explained. It's purely on the team combinations and the people that we want on the field has to be on the field. To be honest, I don't think about the Indian team or what their requirements are when I'm assembling a team for Mumbai Indians. I set it up and Rohit understands that he is a team player. He understands what is required for Mumbai Indians and we go about it. Yes, he had a hamstring injury. We gave him the time that he needed to recover from that and then he came back. The first game or so, we were cautious even with his batting, the way he was running because he had to adapt to slowly, gradually coming back into it. But for me, the medical team, everything is 100%."
