Team India suffered a massive injury ahead of the 3rd Test against Australia at SCG. India’s No. 3 batsman and Test pillar, Cheteshwar Pujara took a nasty blow on the elbow while facing throw-downs in nets.
Journalist Melinda Farrel took to Twitter, the-right hander reportedly returned back to the nets, allowing Indian cricket fans to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Young opener Prithvi Shaw copped a blow on his thumb in the same nets session. The blow looked bad as Shaw was down for quite some time.
The former India U-19 skipper was back on his feet soon enough and was striking the ball during team India’s throw-down session once again.
As soon as he joined Team India Down Under, Rohit Sharma was made Ajinkya Rahane’s deputy for the final two Tests vs Australia.
However, the dilemma over whether Sharma should open or bat at No. 5 at the SCG still persists for Team India.
His inclusion in the Indian line-up comes with the series locked at 1-1. With the wounded Aussies looking to bounce back in the third Test at Sydney, Rohit’s inclusion could be a double-edged sword for India.
Having been out of action due to a hamstring injury, there’s concern that 33-year-may be unprepared going into the 3rd Test.
