Mumbai Await MRI Results on Sarfaraz Khan and Shardul Thakur in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Mumbai's qualification picture has tightened with net run rate damage from the Maharashtra defeat.

Overview

Sarfaraz Khan missed the Maharashtra match with quadriceps pain and underwent an MRI scan to determine the extent of the issue.
Captain Shardul Thakur limped off after bowling 6.5 overs against Maharashtra, also had scans, and his availability remains unclear.
Reports indicate Thakur could miss the rest of the tournament pending results, which would force a decision on alternate captaincy.
Mumbai play Himachal Pradesh on January 6 and Punjab on January 8, with Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shivam Dube expected to join the squad.
Sarfaraz has been in standout form, including a 157 against Goa, and his recent injury follows a year of setbacks that included a rib fracture and an earlier quad issue.
