He copped a back injury while playing an awkward-looking shot off the right-arm pacer Alzarri Joseph’s delivery. After Rohit looked uncomfortable the Indian physio Kamlesh came onto the field and after consultation for a few minutes, Rohit decided to walk off the field.

“Team India captain Rohit Sharma has a back spasm. The BCCI medical team is monitoring his progress,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issued an update on Twitter

Also, Rohit Sharma, during the post-match presentation ceremony, had given a major update on his injury. He said:

“It’s okay at the moment. We’ve got a few days till the next game, hopefully it should be okay (his injury).”
