Mumbai Indians Director of Cricket Operations Zaheer Khan Friday said that skipper Rohit Sharma is available for the team's IPL match against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday.

He had sustained the injury during a training session.
Asked about Rohit's injury status, Zaheer said, "He is definitely available, available for selection and he is very confident, so that is a very positive sign right now for us.
"He is going to practice and get a better gauge of things, but we are pretty confident (of him playing)," said the 40-year-old former India pacer who played 92 Test matches.Rohit briefly batted at the nets at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
