NEW DELHI: Captain Rohit Sharma's unexpected upper arm injury cast a shadow over India's commanding eight-wicket victory against an inexperienced Ireland in their opening game of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday.
The 'Men in Blue' will likely be concerned heading into the Pakistan match on June 9 following Rohit's injury. The Mumbai batsman, after a well-crafted half-century (52 off 37 balls), had to leave the field when he missed a pull shot off a short-pitched delivery from Gujarat Titans pacer Josh Little, striking him on the upper part of his right arm, causing considerable pain.
