Two days ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final against England, India skipper Rohit Sharma had an injury scare while batting in the nets.

Rohit copped a powerful blow on his forearm during an optional session on Tuesday (November 8). Luckily for India, however, he seemed alright as he returned to bat in the nets soon.

Before the big game, Rohit was taking routine throwdowns from S Raghu at the practice session when a short ball hit his right forearm, forcing him to leave the nets immediately as he was seen in severe pain.

The throwdowns were being hurled at him at 150 plus speed from 18 yards. As the Indian tried a short arm pull, he missed it by a split second.

A big ice pack was tied to Rohit’s right arm after he left the session. Mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton also spoke to him for a considerable amount of time.

Thankfully, Rohit was soon back in the nets and resumed his training as he seemed to have recovered from the blow on his forearm.

The extent of the injury could not be ascertained and the Indian medical team will assess him after the session.

In the ongoing T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma hasn’t looked at his best yet, registering scores of 4, 53, 15, 2, and 15 in the Super 12 matches.
