- Ravi Shastri, head coach of the Indian cricket team has made an important statement on Rohit Sharma’s injury. He stated that “he could be in danger of injuring himself again” and advised the batsman not to rush his comeback.
Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury in MI’s match against KXIP and has been on the bench since then. Earlier this week BCCI announced the Indian squad that will travel to Australia and the batsman was not named in any squad.
“It’s being handled by the people in charge of the medical part of it. We don’t get involved in that. They have submitted a report to the selectors and they have gone about their business.
“I have no say, neither am I a part of the selection. All I know is the medical report which says he could be in danger of injuring himself again if he is not careful,” Shastri told.
In Rohit Sharma’s absence, KL Rahul will play the role of the vice-captain. Shastri did not look surprised at the decision. “It is not surprising at all. He captained the side in New Zealand (during the T20I series) when Virat and Rohit were not on the field.”
