PREVIEW: Bangladesh took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against India after defeating the visitors in the first two matches. Moreover, the Men in Blue suffered some injury blows after captain Rohit Sharma, Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Sen were ruled out of the ODI.
“India Captain Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb in the second over while fielding in the 2nd ODI. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him and he underwent scans at a local hospital in Dhaka. He has flown to Mumbai for specialist consultation and will miss the final ODI. A call on his availability for the upcoming Test series will be taken later,” a BCCI release said.
