India captain Rohit Sharma faced an injury scare during a practice session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on December 22, 2024. Rohit was struck on his left knee by a ball while facing throwdowns from the specialist, causing immediate discomfort. The incident occurred just four days before the highly anticipated Boxing Day Test against Australia, adding to the tension and concern for the Indian team.
Rohit Sharma’s injury update
Despite the blow, Rohit continued to bat for a short while but soon sought medical attention. He was seen applying an ice pack to his knee and limping as he exited the nets. The team’s physiotherapist attended to him promptly, ensuring that the knee was iced and elevated to reduce any potential swelling. While the injury did not appear to be severe, the sight of the captain in pain raised concerns about his availability for the upcoming Test match.
Rohit’s injury comes at a crucial time as India aims for a series win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, currently tied at 1-1. The team management and fans are hopeful for a speedy recovery, as Rohit’s presence and form are vital for India’s chances in the final two Tests of the series. The BCCI has yet to provide an official update on his condition, leaving the cricketing world in anticipation of further news.
