Melbourne Test: Team India is currently in Australia and is participating in the Border Gavaskar series there. 3 matches of the 5 match series have been played while the fourth match will be played in Melbourne. But even before that, the Indian team is constantly struggling with injuries, due to which coach Gautam Gambhir is very upset.
Many problems have come up for Gambhir and the team management before the Melbourne Test and Team India may have to face a lot of difficulties in dealing with them.
Rahul's finger injured
The Indian team was practicing before the fourth Test match to be held in Melbourne, during which two Indian players got injured. KL Rahul, the second highest run scorer for Team India in this series and the top scorer from India, has suffered a finger injury.
Let us tell you that, a video is going viral on social media right now in which Rahul can be seen holding his finger and the physio is giving him treatment. However, his injury does not seem to be very serious, due to which he can participate in the test match to be held in Melbourne. Rahul has scored 235 runs in 6 innings of 3 matches of this series at an average of 47.00.
Rohit Sharma may be out of Melbourne Test
On the other hand, things have not been going well for Team India captain Rohit Sharma for some time now. First, under his captaincy, Team India had to face defeat against New Zealand at home and on the other hand, his own form is also very bad. And now he has got injured before the Melbourne Test, due to which his playing in the next Test seems doubtful.
Rohit was hit by a ball on his left leg during practice, after which he was sitting with an ice pack on and did not practice further. He has played 7 Test matches since the beginning of this home season and has scored 152 runs in 13 innings at an average of 11.69.
The Indian team still has chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship but due to the injury of these two, India's hopes have been dashed.
