India has to face New Zealand in its last group match. This match will be played in Dubai on March 2. This match is important for both the teams because it will decide the table topper. Both teams are preparing hard for this. However, before the match, a big update came out regarding the injury of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. According to a report in the Times of India, Rohit did not participate in any heavy activity during the practice session on Wednesday and neither did batting practice on the nets.
Only time will tell how serious his injury is and questions are also being raised on whether he will play in the next match or not. However, during the practice session, the atmosphere of the Indian team looked very happy and the players were seen laughing and meeting each other. Indian players were also joking with each other. BCCI has also released a video of this on its site.
The Indian team arrived for a practice session
After the victory over Pakistan, Indian players took part in training at the ICC Academy for the first time. During this, all the players used to warm up by playing football and taking sprints, but Rohit did not participate in any physical activity that could have caused problems in his leg. The report claims that he was jogging slowly under the supervision of strength and conditioning coach Soham Desai, but was not able to walk freely. Rohit spent most of the time on the field standing or walking in one place. He was not seen running much.
Rohit was injured in the last match.
He suffered a hamstring injury during the match against Pakistan, but after the match, he said that he was fine and there was nothing to worry about. According to the report, Rohit did not face any throwdowns and just did some shadow batting while discussing with head coach Gautam Gambhir and the rest of the coaching staff.
Virat faced spinners
Virat Kohli spent a lot of time facing spinners in the nets session, while bowling coach Morne Morkel has joined the team in Dubai. Virat has faced bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja during the training session, along with that he has also called other net bowlers and faced them. Among the fast bowlers, Mohammed Shami was also seen bowling with full force. Shami was also seen in trouble during the match against Pakistan.
Shami troubled Kohli
Shami made the ball swing both ways while bowling to Kohli. His ball also hit Kohli's pad twice. At the same time, Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh also looked committed to giving their best during the session. Under Morkel's supervision, all the bowlers looked ready for the challenge of New Zealand. Morkel had to return home due to personal reasons a few days before the team's opening match of the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh on February 20. Morkel was seen having a long conversation with head coach Gautam Gambhir. Shubman Gill, who has been India's stand-out batsman in the tournament, was the only batsman who did not turn up for the practice session.
