The India vs Pakistan match saw some tense moments, particularly when captain Rohit Sharma was stretched in the hamstring area. Meanwhile, fast bowler Mohammed Shami had to leave the field to receive treatment for calf pain. Rohit Sharma’s absence from the field for an extended period raised concerns, but after the match, Shreyas Iyer provided an update on the injuries.
When questioned about the status of both players, Iyer reassured that neither Rohit nor Shami has any major concerns. In fact, during the final overs of Pakistan’s innings, Rohit was seen struggling to run and catch balls, prompting commentator Dale Steyn to speculate about a possible hamstring issue. Shami, on the other hand, returned to the field after receiving treatment, although he didn’t complete his 10 overs. Thankfully, he seemed to be in good condition afterwards.
Shreyas Iyer’s statement during the press conference put minds at ease, saying, “Actually, it’s not so. I mean, I talked to him a little, both of them were very comfortable with the way they moved forward, and yes, according to my knowledge, I don’t think there’s any problem.” With this update, fans can breathe a sigh of relief, especially considering Team India’s upcoming match against New Zealand on March 2. Having defeated Bangladesh by 6 wickets prior to the Pakistan match, India is looking to secure a top spot in the points table and move forward to the group stage. A win against New Zealand would set them up for a semi-final showdown against the number 2 team from Group B.
