In the build-up to the game, India have been training pretty hard. Not only this, they have also faced injury scares as well, with the biggest one being skipper Rohit Sharma coping a blow on the knee. The captain got hit while batting in the nets and looked in pain.

Rohit was also seen wearing an ice pack around his knee with physios continuously attending him. However, nothing seemed serious as the batter looked fine and himself confirmed that he is fit and will be playing the next match of the series.

Rohit also talked about the practice pitches, saying that they were offered used surfaces but will be training on the new pitch today. He added that they will make their plans accordingly. Speaking to the reporters, he explained:

"Knee is fine. Nothing had changed since last I spoke. We had two sessions what can change? I think those pitches which we trained they are used pitches. Today is the only day we are gonna get fresher wickets. Will go and see how it is, train accordingly."

1-1 it's a fair reflection of how both teams have played - Rohit Sharma

Rohit also talked about his team's performance in the series, saying that it's up to the mark. He pointed out the fight shown by the team in Perth and also admitted that they didn't play well in Adelaide.

He concluded by saying that the series being levelled at 1-1 after three matches is a fair reflection of how both the teams have played. He elaborated:

"It's been good. We have been fortunate as well the attitude boys showed after getting all out for 150 and then to bowl out for 100 Adelaide we didn't play well, Brisbane there wasn't much. After 3 Tests, if I look at 1-1 it's a fair reflection of how both teams have played."

Rohit Sharma would be keen to lead from the front in the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The captain has come under serious pump for his poor form as he has managed just 19 runs in the two games that he has played. There have been a lot of calls related to his retirement as well and the batter would want to silence all his critics with the bat in the next two matches.
