Rohit was seen struggling with his hamstring in the first innings of the game against Pakistan.
Pakistan posted 241/10 on the board after winning the toss and India chased it down comfortably, thanks to Virat Kohli’s unbeaten ton.
Rohit was seen struggling with his hamstring in the first innings. After Hardik Pandya got rid of Babar Azam, making him edge one to wicketkeeper KL Rahul in the ninth over, the captain celebrated extensively and soon after, was spotted clutching his hamstring.
Rohit also spent some time out of the ground as vice-captain Shubman Gill performed the leadership duties. However, he came out to open the innings during the chase and contributed 20 off 15 balls.
Asked about the incident in the post-match presentation, Sharma said: “It is okay at the moment."
India will now get a week’s rest before they face New Zealand on March 2 in the final group-stage game of the tournament.
It was a clinical performance from the Men in Bue. In the bowling attack, Kuldeep Yadav returned with three wickets and every other bowler except Mohammad Shami claimed at least one scalp.
Apart from Virat Kohli’s 100*, Shreyas Iyer’s 56 and Shubman Gill’s 46 helped India get over the line with 45 deliveries to spare.
“The way we started with the ball was superb. We knew it gets slightly better to bat under lights. We backed our experience to get the runs. Credit goes to guys like, Axar, Kuldeep and Jadeja,” Rohit said at the start of the presentation.
“They stitch a very good partnership – Rizwan and Shakeel. It was important not to let the game drift away. Not to forget the way Hardik, Shami and Harshit bowled as well. We’ve played a lot together, this format. It can be quite tricky at times. Axar and Kuldeep stepped up today,” he added.
“He (Kohli) loves representing the country. He wants to be out there. We’ve seen it with him over the years. People in the dressing room are not surprised,” he further remarked.
