Indian captain Rohit Sharma had an injury scare in the nets on Tuesday ahead of the semi-final against England at the Adelaide Oval.
Sharma was taking throw downs from the specialist S Raghu when he got hit on the right arm; it wasn’t clear if he was hit on his forearm or the wrist.

Luckily, for him and India, he returned to bat at the nets after a while. Barring one 50 against Netherlands, his scores this World Cup have been: 4, 15, 2, 15. Sharma hasn’t been in especially good form either: 150 runs in his last 10 T20 innings. And the team is hopeful that their captain would rise to the occasion of the semi-final and come up with a substantial knock.
India had an optional practice session on Tuesday which was attended by Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Sharma, Mohammad Siraj and Shardul Thakur.
Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, fast bowlers Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Rishabh Pant, spinners R Ashwin and Akshar Patel were given a rest. The team had reached Adelaide on Monday night.
