India captain Rohit Sharma sustained a concerning injury to his left knee during practice on Sunday, December 22, just ahead of the Boxing Day Test. The injury occurred when the ball, during his session with the throwdown specialist, slipped through his pads and struck his knee. If he isn’t fully fit for the upcoming match, India will face the challenge of playing without their captain. This raises concerns not only about his availability for the match but also how it might impact his batting performance. Let’s take a closer look at Rohit Sharma’s statistics in Melbourne.
The Boxing Day Test in Melbourne is just four days away from this setback. India will want to win the last two Test matches to defeat Australia for the third time in a row in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where they are now locked 1-1.
