Dravid also informed that injured fast bowler Deepak Chahar will miss the third ODI due to a hamstring and Kuldeep Sen will not play in the third ODI due to a back injury.
Rohit said after playing a courageous half-century in the losing match, “It (finger injury) is not right. Some are dislocations and some are stitches. I am lucky that it is not a fracture, so I could come to bat. ,
Dravid, however, said he was not sure whether Rohit would be able to play in the Test series starting December 14 in Chittagong.
Dravid said, “Rohit, Kuldeep and Deepak will not play in the third match. Rohit will return to Mumbai and show the condition of his finger injury to the specialist. We are not in a position to tell whether he will be able to play in the Test series or not. It would be too early. ,
If Rohit himself has confirmed the ‘dislocation’, it will take him at least three to four weeks to start batting in the nets.
Fielding in the second slip, Rohit dropped Anamul Haque’s catch on the fourth ball of Mohammad Siraj’s second over of the innings and during this time his left hand started bleeding.
He was taken to a Dhaka hospital for a scan and during the initial treatment the injured area required several stitches.
Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) tweeted, “Indian captain Rohit Sharma suffered a thumb injury while fielding in the second ODI. The BCCI medical team is assessing him. He has been taken for a scan.
Despite being injured, Rohit came out to bat at number nine in the second ODI.
Chahar, who has always been plagued by injuries, was able to bowl only three overs of his quota in the second ODI due to tightness in his hamstring. In fact, this is the third time in the last four months that he has been injured.
He was away from cricket for nearly six months due to hamstring and back injuries, which did not even play in the IPL. On his return, he felt unwell in a match against Zimbabwe and then during the ODI series against South Africa, from which he had to withdraw.
He was also ruled out of the T20 World Cup in Australia due to a tight back.
On the other hand, fast bowler Kuldeep Sen, who made his debut in the first ODI, was dropped from the team for the second ODI due to back stiffness.
Rohit said, “There are some concerns related to injuries, we have to get to the bottom of it. One has to try to monitor these as it is important to understand. ,
He said, “When you play for India, you should be 100 per cent fit. We have to see their workload because we cannot feed half fit players for the country. ,
