Rohit Sharma Provides A Big Update On His Injury: After enduring a night to forget following a defeat in the 2nd T20I match, the Indian cricket team bounced back in the 3rd T20I and registered a 7-wicket win against West Indies at Warner Park, St Kitts on Tuesday, riding on the blistering half-century of Suryakumar Yadav and a fine cameo by Rishabh Pant.

While the Indian side registered a big win, however, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma had a major injury scare when he walked off the field, retired hurt while batting. Rohit was batting on 11 off 5 balls, having smashed a six and a four before he pulled a muscle.
As Rohit was about to take the strike the camera showed Indian physio Kamlesh Jain come running to the ground. After a lengthy discussion with the physio, the captain walked off holding his back. It seemed as if Rohit had pulled a muscle while playing the third ball of the over, which he smashed for a four. Rohit danced down the wicket to Alzarri Joseph.
The BCCI via their official Twitter handle was quick to update the fans about the injury of Rohit Sharma, confirming that it was in fact a back spasm. The Tweet read: “Team India captain Rohit Sharma has a back spasm. The BCCI medical team is monitoring his progress,”
Despite the absence of Rohit Sharma, the Indian batters did pretty well as they posted a total of 165 runs on the scoreboard, all thanks to a brilliant knock of 76 runs and amazing cameos by Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya.

However, everyone was waiting for the post-match presentation, where Rohit Sharma finally updated the fans about the extent of his injury. He revealed: “At the moment, it’s okay. We’ve got a few days till the next game, hopefully it should be okay.”
Further, Rohit Sharma also heaped praises on the Indian bowlers, who managed to restrict the Windies to 164 runs. He also praised Suryakumar Yadav for his brilliant knock. He said:
“How we bowled in the middle overs was crucial. I thought we used the conditions well. Used the variations well. Was very clinical how we chased. When you watched from the outside, didn’t feel a lot of risk was taken, was a lot of calmness in the middle. Surya batted brilliantly, good partnership there with Iyer. The pitch had something in it for the bowlers, not an easy target. Was important to pick the right shots, right balls on a ground like that,”
