MELBOURNE: Barely days left for the fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian team suffered a blow over captain Rohit Sharma’s fitness. Captain Rohit Sharma injured his knee during training. The captain tried to continue practice but had to stop midway after the pain worsened.

Pictures surfaced of Rohit Sharma sitting on a chair with his left leg bandaged. The video of the star writhing in pain while being treated is also surfacing on social media. Meanwhile, there are reports that Rohit's injury is not serious and he will play in the upcoming match.

Players like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep and Virat Kohli are continuing training for the crucial fourth test. Notwithstanding the injury, there are also concerns regarding Rohit Sharma’s current form which has been nothing but inferior. The injury comes amid rumours that the player will retire from Test cricket in the coming months.

Reports have surfaced about the Indian team making moves to bring in big changes in the squad after Ravichandran Ashwin announced his suspense retirement. Reports suggest that more senior players may retire after Ashwin. It is estimated that it will start with the tour of England in June-July next year.
