Rohit Sharma Injury Update: Will He Play the World Test Championship Final?

All eyes will be on India skipper Rohit Sharma when he takes the toss along with Pat Cummins for the World Test Championship Final (WTC) at Oval. Yesterday, Rohit had to leave the optional practice session at Oval after sustaining a blow on his thumb while batting. He returned to the nets with a tape, but could not continue batting and had a word with Rahul Dravid before leaving.

India’s Injury Woes

India’s already missing a few stars like Rishabh Pant, Bumrah, and KL Rahul due to injuries, and the team cannot afford any further setbacks. An update on Rohit’s condition will be available on Wednesday morning after a thorough examination of his thumb.

At present, reports suggest that the blow to the India skipper is not so serious. However, if it turns out to be more severe, Rohit might have to miss out on the summit finale against Australia.

Who Will Take the Lead if Rohit is Ruled Out?

If Rohit is unable to play, the question arises as to who will lead the Indian team in his absence. Will the selectors pick Ishan Kishan or Shikhar Dhawan? Will Cummins choose Boland over Neser?

Conclusion

The answer to these questions will be known soon, but for now, all eyes are on Rohit Sharma and his thumb injury. Follow the WTC Final LIVE for updates on the Indian skipper and the India vs Australia match.
