Speculation about Rohit Sharma’s injury ahead of India’s Test series against South Africa sparked concerns, suggesting he might miss the first Test due to a thumb injury. However, sources revealed the news to be false, with the shared image being from an earlier incident unrelated to his current fitness.
Confirmed reports from South Africa clarified that Rohit Sharma is in good shape and will lead the Indian team in the upcoming Test series. Currently, KL Rahul captains the side in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa, currently tied at 1-1.
This red-ball series marks Sharma’s return post the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. India, aiming to clinch their maiden Test series win in South Africa, looks forward to breaking their longstanding streak.
The Test squads feature Rohit Sharma at the helm for India, alongside stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah. South Africa, under Temba Bavuma’s leadership, includes key players such as Dean Elgar, Kagiso Rabada, and Aiden Markram.
The confirmed fitness of Rohit Sharma brings relief to the Indian camp as they gear up for this crucial series, hoping to script history on South African soil.
