Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is gearing up for the Super 8 stage of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024. They remained unbeaten during the group stage and picked up wins over teams like Ireland, Pakistan, and the United States. Ahead of the big showdown in the next round of competition, star Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav gave everyone a big injury scare during the practice session after a ball hit his hands.
Suryakuamr Yadav injured
Suryakumar Yadav was hit by a ball while taking throw downs during India's practice session, Sports Tak reported. However, he was back in the nets moments after applying magic spray. He was later also seen sitting in the shade, applying an ice pack on his right hand to comfort the pain. However, this was an optional practice session but despite it each and every member of the squad showed up and sweated it out ahead of the Super 8s. As for now, it was just a minor injury scare and Surya is fit to play the next match.
