Team India’s pain: Rohit was playing a shot, suddenly the ball bounced and gave him/her a deep injury, he/she had to retire

New Delhi. The Indian team made a great start in the T20 World Cup. The bowlers restricted Ireland to under 100 runs. After this, the batsmen achieved the target in the 13th over itself. But the joy of the excellent performance of the Indian team turned into worry when captain Rohit Sharma got injured. Rohit continued to play despite the injury. he/she hit some good shots even after the injury, but not for long. After some time, he/she had to retire due to pain.

The ball that hit Rohit Sharma was on such a line-length that he/she often sends it across the boundary. But this time Rohit was fooled. Actually, this ball of Mark Adair was pitching outside the off stump and was going out with an angle. Rohit Sharma was already ready for this ball. As soon as Adair bowled the ball, Rohit shuffled himself. he/she took his/her left foot outside the off stump and tried to play a pull shot. But the drop-in pitch with irregular bounce deceived him/her. The ball bounced more than expected and hit Rohit’s right arm.

After getting injured, Rohit raised questions on the ‘drop in’ pitch, said- I don’t understand it…

Rohit Sharma did not understand anything for a moment. he/she turned completely in an attempt to play a shot. On the other hand, the ball hit his/her arm and landed in the hands of the fielder standing at point. The ball was quite far from the bat but Ireland took a review in excitement. After watching the review, the third umpire dashed Ireland’s hopes by declaring Rohit not out.

Rohit Sharma was injured and he/she took revenge on the next two balls. The Indian captain hit sixes on the next two balls of Joshua Little. Rohit played 11 balls after getting injured and scored 22 runs on them. After this, when his/her personal score was 52 runs and the Indian team was close to victory, he/she retired hurt and returned to the pavilion. Rohit hit 3 sixes and 4 fours in his/her 37-ball innings.

Rohit Sharma said after the match, ‘This is a minor injury. I had said at the time of toss that I don’t know how this pitch will be. It is a new ground. It is a new venue. I think the pitch has not settled yet and was helping the bowlers a lot.’
