‘There was a little bruise..’: Rohit Sharma gives update on forearm injury ahead of England clash

Ahead of Team India’s vital T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal match against England, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma received a knock to his right forearm while practicing in the nets. The 35-year-old later issued a favorable update on the situation, confirming that he is fit to continue.

“I was hit yesterday but it seems to be fine now. There was a little bruise but it is absolutely fine now: Indian Captain Rohit Sharma on his injury during the practice session ahead of the Semi-Final match against England”, Rohit said.

On Tuesday, while practicing in the nets, Rohit got injured by a ball on his right forearm while receiving throwdowns.

The Indian captain came to a halt and was treated by physicians. Rohit was then seen with an ice pack on his hand while talking with Paddy Upton.

While the Nagpur-born opener was forced to take a break, he was soon spotted back in the nets, and it proved to be nothing more than a mere scare. 

Rohit was subsequently seen batting in the nets once again, gearing up to face off against their toughest challenge so far, in the form of England. Afterwards, the Indian skipper was quizzed by journalists about how he was feeling to which he replied by giving a thumbs up!
