Indian cricket team faces a tough challenge as captain Rohit Sharma suffered an injury during practice ahead of the fourth Test in Melbourne.
Rohit injured his left knee while batting in the nets. Despite attempting to play on, the pain forced him to stop and seek medical assistance. He was later seen with his knee strapped, sitting on a chair with his gear removed. Though the injury initially appeared minor, team physios are closely monitoring his condition.
Intense Training Session in the Nets
Ahead of the Boxing Day Test, the entire Indian squad participated in an intense training session. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah bowled at full pace, while Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep impressed with their performances.
Virat Kohli also worked hard in the nets, facing both spinners and side-armers. Spinners like Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were seen giving him a solid practice session. The team has a rest day planned for Monday but will return to training soon as the Melbourne Test approaches.
