DUBAI: (Web Desk) Indian team assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has made a revelation about captain Rohit Sharma’s hamstring injury he picked during last Sunday’s win over Pakistan in the Champions Trophy in Dubai.

India captain Rohit Sharma is fine after picking up a hamstring injury Ryan ten Doeschate said in Dubai.

Sharma, 37, briefly left the field after picking up an injury while fielding as Pakistan batted first. He later scored a quick 20 as India won by six wickets to reach the semi-finals.

"He s all right. It s an injury he s had before, so he knows how to manage it really well," Ten Doeschate told reporters on Friday.

Hamstring injuries had forced Sharma to miss the start of India s tour of Australia in 2020 and the entire tour of South Africa in 2021-22.

India will play their final group stage game on Sunday against New Zealand, who have also qualified for the semis.
