India cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was forced to retire hurt in midway of IND vs IRE clash at the Nassau County International Cricket stadium. The Hitman played a captain’s knock, leading the side from the front with a bistering half-century. However, he retired hurt after a delivery went on to strike his elbow.
Rohit Sharma retires hurt in IND vs IRE
A delivery from Joshua Little missed Rohit’s bat and went on to strike his elbow. The Indian skipper managed to carry on batting for a couple of overs before the pain and discomfort forced him to walk off the field before the start of the 10th over. The injury scare comes just four days ahead of the high-octane IND vs PAK clash which will be held at the same venue on June 9.
“Feeling a little sore,” Rohit Sharma said when asked about his elbow at the post-match presentation.

It would be interesting to see if the condition of the pitch will improve by the time the arch-rivals lock horns.
