Team India’s pain: Rohit was playing a shot, suddenly the ball bounced and gave him a deep injury, forced to retire.

New Delhi. The Indian team has started with a bang in the T20 World Cup. The bowlers stopped Ireland within 100 runs. After this, the batsmen achieved the target in the 13th over. But the joy of the Indian team’s brilliant performance turned into worry when captain Rohit Sharma got injured. Despite the injury, Rohit continued to play. He still hit some good shots after the injury, but not for long. After a while he had to retire due to pain.

The ball Rohit Sharma hit was on line-length, which he often sent across the boundary. But this time Rohit made a mistake. In fact, this ball from Mark Adair was coming out with an angle after being pitched outside the off stump. Rohit Sharma was already ready for this ball. As soon as Adair threw the ball, Rohit shook himself. He took his left foot outside the off stump and tried to hit a pull shot. But the drop-in pitch with erratic bounce betrayed us. The ball bounced higher than expected and hit Rohit’s right arm.

After being injured, Rohit raised questions on ‘drop in’ on the pitch, said – I don’t understand…

Rohit Sharma did not understand anything immediately. He turned completely around trying to play the shot. On the other hand, the ball hit the arm and fell into the hands of the fielder standing at point. The ball was off the bat but Ireland took the review with great enthusiasm. After seeing the review, the third umpire gave Rohit a not out and dashed Ireland’s hopes.

Rohit Sharma was injured and he took revenge in the next two balls. The Indian captain hit sixes off Joshua Little’s next two balls. After being injured, Rohit played 11 balls and scored 22 runs off it. After this, when his personal score was 52 and the Indian team was close to victory, he retired hurt and returned to the pavilion. Rohit hit 3 sixes and 4 fours in a 37-ball innings.

Rohit Sharma said after the match, ‘It is a minor injury. I said at the toss that I don’t know how this pitch will be. There is a new field. There is a new place. I think the pitch has not settled yet and it is helping the bowlers a lot.
