Nothing is going well for the Indian cricket team at the moment. This team has got a defeat in the three-match ODI series in Bangladesh. By winning both the opening matches, Bangladesh has won the series and now Team India will try to win the third ODI to be held on Saturday, but before this match and after the second ODI, Team India has suffered a setback. Three of his players will not play in the final match and it also includes the name of captain Rohit Sharma.
The head coach of the team, Rahul Dravid, who came to the press conference after the second match, confirmed this. Dravid told that Rohit will not play in the third ODI and he will go to Mumbai to consult an expert regarding the injury. Rohit suffered a thumb injury in the second over of the match itself. For this reason, he could not do fielding and also came late to bat.
Doubt even on playing the series
After the ODI series, Team India has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh and there is doubt over Rohit’s participation in this series as well. Dravid said, “Rohit will definitely not play the next match. He will leave for Mumbai. Will take advice from experts. Then let’s see what happens. Whether he can come back for the Test series or not. I cannot say anything for sure about this. It is too early to say anything.
Rohit batted even after the injury and tried to win the team by scoring an unbeaten 51 off 28 balls. After the match, he said about his injury that the injury is not good. However, he had made it clear that it is not a fracture.
