The hamstring is absolutely fine, says Rohit Sharma after Ganguly said he is injured | Rohit Sharma says he is feeling fine after return from injury

Rohit Sharma walked out for the toss against at Sharjah Stadium and stirred some confusion about his hamstring injury. Just a day back, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly gave an interview to PTI saying Rohit is injured at the moment. Otherwise, why would the board leave out a player like him?

“He is the vice-captain of the national (limited-overs) team. We will have to assess him. I don’t know (when he can come back). He hasn’t played so far since the time he has got injured. We want him to recover. It’s the BCCI’s job to get their best players on the park. If he recovers, he plays”, he said.

However, after missing four matches, Rohit came back to play and puzzled the whole narrative about his fitness. Speaking at the post-match presentation, the MI captain said, “I was happy to be back, it’s been a while. I’m looking forward to playing a few more games here, let’s see what happens. It (hamstring) is fine, absolutely”.

This brings the BCCI selectors into a questionable state and appointment of KL Rahul as new vice-president in the India-Australia series. Sharma had suffered a hamstring strain in his left leg in a match against Kings XI Punjab on October 18. MI lost the game against SRH by 10 wickets which lead to securing their place in the playoffs.
