Practice Session concerns for Rohit Sharma as he sustains an injury; subsequently, continues training prior to T20 World Cup Semi-Final according to reports.
In a concerning turn of events at the Adelaide Oval, India captain Rohit Sharma sustained an injury during an optional training session on Tuesday. The impact occurred while Rohit was facing the team's throwdown expert, S Raghu.
Rohit was attempting a pull shot when the ball struck his forearm, causing him to leave the session immediately. He was visibly in pain and a large ice bag was promptly applied to his arm. Despite the injury, Rohit was cleared to play and did not miss the T20 World Cup semifinal against England on Thursday.
After using an ice bag and taking some rest, Rohit resumed his training, albeit at a reduced pace. The throwdown specialists were instructed not to go full speed as they evaluated the extent of Rohit's injury. Rohit primarily played defensive shots to check if his movements were fine during the resumed training.
India's medical team will conduct a thorough examination of Rohit after the training session to assess the extent of his injury. Meanwhile, psychological conditioning coach Paddy Upton spent a substantial amount of time speaking with Rohit, providing support during this challenging time.
Despite the injury, Rohit looked desolate and in significant discomfort while watching the training session from a distance. The T20 World Cup semifinal between India and England is scheduled for Thursday, with the first semifinal between Pakistan and New Zealand taking place in Sydney on Wednesday.
The Indian team and its supporters will be hoping for a speedy recovery for Rohit Sharma, as they prepare to take on England in the crucial semifinal match.
