After his magical comeback, Mohit had opened on his comeback journey. "I had had back surgery, and many people weren't sure if I had played enough domestic cricket (to be signed for IPL auction). I received a call from Ashish bhai, saying I should be with the team, and if someone gets injured I'd get a chance," Sharma had said to broadcasters during the PBKS vs GT game.
Mohit is out of action for India too since 2015. He has played in a World Cup semifinal but is now far from the team. He played only 1 game in IPL 2020. He had opened up that getting involved in cricket is crucial. "Obviously, if you have to upgrade your cricket or better it in any way, you need competitive practice. I felt, what am I going to do sitting at home? I was here and doing competitive practice instead, I kept myself involved in cricket, and I think it was a good time for me."
