Rohit Sharma has been declared fit for India’s T20 World Cup Group A match against Pakistan on June 9, after an injury scare during the game against Ireland where he retired hurt from a bicep injury.
Rohit Sharma has been declared fit for India’s crucial 2024 T20 World Cup Group A match against Pakistan on June 9. The Indian captain, who sustained a bicep injury against Ireland and had to retire hurt, is now confirmed to be in good condition, according to a senior BCCI source.
India began their T20 World Cup campaign with a strong win over Ireland in New York on June 5, where Sharma was in excellent form, scoring 52 off 37 balls before being hit by a bouncer from Mark Adair. Despite the scare, Sharma’s injury is minor, and he is expected to lead the team against Pakistan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
Reportedly, the Indian team management has also decided not to file any complaints with the ICC regarding the pitch conditions at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, despite concerns over its uneven bounce. The pitch drew criticism after India’s dominant win over Ireland, where players, including Rohit Sharma, Harry Tector, and Rishabh Pant, sustained body blows.

After playing against Pakistan, India will take on the co-hosts, the USA, and finish their group matches against Canada on June 15 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill.
