He left the session and after that a big ice pack was tied to his right arm but he looked desolate and in considerable pain even while watching the training from a distance sitting on the ice box.
Mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton was seen talking to him for a considerable amount of time.
Rohit hasn’t been able to score freely in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 and been struggling with his form. He has managed to score just 89 runs in the five matches of the tournament with a top-score of 53 against the Netherlands. Former India captain Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer for India in the tournament with 246 runs while Suryakumar Yadav has made sensational 225 runs at a strike-rate of nearly 200.
India will play Jos Buttler’s side on November 10, Thursday. England is also facing injury issues in the team. England batsman Dawid Malan is expected to be unavailable for the semi-finals after being forced off the field with an injury in the first innings of England’s game against Sri Lanka in group stages.
In the other semi-final Pakistan will play against New Zealand tomorrow on November 9. The winner of this match will play for the finals on Sunday November 13 against the winner of India-England semi-final game.
