India Receives Injury Scare Ahead of WTC Final
Just one day before the commencement of the World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and Australia, the Indian team received a major injury scare. While batting in the nets, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was hit in the left thumb and was attended to by the team physio. After a brief chat with head coach Rahul Dravid, the opener left the session without continuing.
Key Players Skip Practice Session
The extent of the injury is yet to be determined and no official statement has been made. Notably, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and other key batters skipped the optional practice session, while Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav were present. Ashwin focused on his batting during the final practice session.
Team India Struggling with Injuries
India has been struggling with injuries prior to the summit clash. The Men in Blue are already without Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer due to respective injuries and any further injuries would greatly affect their chances of success.
Conclusion
The injury to Rohit Sharma has cast a shadow of doubt over the Indian team’s preparations for the WTC final. With key players already out of the squad due to injuries, any further injuries could prove to be a major setback for the team. The extent of the injury is yet to be revealed and fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery for the Indian skipper.
