Watch: Injury scare for India as Rohit gets hit on thigh

There was no confirmation or update from the support staff regarding Rohit's injury.

New Delhi:Stand-in captain Rohit Sharma on Friday ahead of opening T20I between India and Bangladesh gave hosts an injury scare, during Men-in-Blue's practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

During India's practice, Rohit who was getting throwdowns from batting coach Vikram Rathour and Sri Lanka's Nuwan Seneviratne at the nets, left the net practice session after he was hit on his left thigh, just above his knee.

However, there was no confirmation or update from the support staff regarding Rohit's injury. The 32-year-old quietly left the nets and didn't take part in further practice session.

In the absence of Virat Kohli, the onus of batting lies mainly on Rohit, who has been in prolific form in recent times.

After scoring five hundreds in the World Cup in the UK, the right-handed batter made an emphatic start as an opener in Test cricket, scoring three hundreds, including a double ton, against South Africa in the recently concluded series which India won 3-0.Earlier in the day, both Rathour and Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo played down concerns over the deteriorating weather conditions in the national capital.Domingo said that while the conditions are not ideal, they cannot complain as "no one was falling sick or dying".Rathour, on the other hand, said Team India players are used to playing in such weather conditions and so, it would not be a problem for them.
