India skipper Rohit Sharma had a serious injury scare on Tuesday when he went off the field injured while batting. Before injuring a muscle, Rohit was batting on 11 from 5 balls, having smashed a six and a four. The video saw Indian physio Kamlesh Jain come sprinting onto the pitch as Rohit was ready to strike, and after a lengthy conversation, the skipper went off hurting his back. Rohit appeared to have injured his back when playing the third ball of the over, which he inside-edged for four. Rohit danced his way down the pitch to Alzarri Joseph.
The BCCI issued an update on Rohit’s injury, stating that it was a back spasm. “Team India skipper Rohit Sharma is suffering from a back spasm. The BCCI medical staff is keeping an eye on him “It used to tweet. Despite Rohit’s absence, India’s batsmen cruised to a seven-wicket victory in their pursuit of 165, but all eyes were on the post-match presentation when Rohit finally delivered an update on the extent of his injury and if it knocks him out for the remainder of the series… and possibly more.
When he remarked, “The entire country must have sighed a sigh of relief,” the entire country must have breathed a sigh of relief “It’s OK for the time being. We have a few days till the next game, so hopefully, everything will be well.”

Rohit sat in the locker room as India took a 2-1 lead in the series. The gamble of opening with Suryakumar Yadav paid off as the India batsman scored a half-century. His 76-ball 76 with eight fours and four sixes, combined with useful knocks from Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, helped India to an easy win.
Although Surya went out in the 15th over with just over 30 needed, followed by Hardik Pandya’s dismissal three overs later, Pant came to the rescue with a quickfire 33 off 26 balls, including the winning runs – a boundary off Obed McCoy. India has recovered from their poor performance in the second ODI, and Rohit could not be happier. He congratulated the bowlers for limiting the Windies to 164 when they were on course for much more, and he praised Suryakumar’s performance.
“It was critical how we bowled in the middle overs. I believed we made good use of the circumstances. The modifications were extensively used. We chased quite methodically. From the outside, it didn’t appear that much risk was taken, and there was a lot of peace in the middle. Surya batted superbly, forming an excellent combination with Iyer. The surface had something for the bowlers, and it was not an easy target. On a ground like that, it was critical to choose the appropriate shots and balls “The captain stated.
