India Experiences Major Injury Scare Before WTC Final
Team India experienced a major injury scare just one day prior to the commencement of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was struck in the left thumb while batting in the nets. The Indian opener was then attended to by the physio before he returned to the nets, but did not go on and after a quick conversation with head coach Rahul Dravid, left the session.
Injury Extent Not Revealed
The extent of the injury is yet to be revealed and no official statement has been made. Notably, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and other key batters skipped the optional practice session, whereas Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Umesh Yadav turned up and hit the nets. Ashwin focused more on his batting in the final practice session.
India Struggling With Injuries Before Final
India has been facing a tough time with injuries prior to the start of the summit clash. The Men in Blue are already without pacer Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer due to respective injuries and any further injuries could really weaken their chances.
Conclusion
India’s injury woes have been a major concern for the team as they prepare for the WTC final against Australia. With Rohit Sharma’s injury, the team is now in a precarious situation and will need to rely on the remaining players to get them through.
