Rohit Sharma: All Eyes on India Skipper Ahead of WTC Final
The focus will be on Indian skipper Rohit Sharma as he takes the field for the toss of the World Test Championship Final (WTC) at the Oval. Rohit was seen walking off from the optional practice session yesterday at the Oval after suffering a blow on his thumb while batting. Although the India captain returned to the nets with a tape on his thumb, he was unable to continue batting and left the training session after a conversation with Rahul Dravid.

With the absence of some stars like Rishabh Pant, Bumrah, and KL Rahul due to injuries, India cannot afford any more setbacks. An update on Rohit Sharma’s condition will be given on Wednesday morning after his thumb is inspected.
For now, reports suggest that the blow to the India skipper is not too serious. However, if it turns out to be a major issue, Rohit might miss the summit finale against Australia.
Conclusion
The entire nation will be keeping their fingers crossed as they await the outcome of Rohit Sharma’s injury. India’s hopes of clinching the WTC Final will depend on the India skipper’s recovery and whether he is able to take the field.
