India is scheduled to play New Zealand on February 2 at the Dubai International Stadium.
India secured a comfortable win against Pakistan in their second match of the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, shortly after the start of the match, Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami were seen on the bench, raising concerns about possible injuries.
Rohit seemed to have trouble with his hamstring while celebrating the wicket of Babar Azam. Shami, on the other hand, was suffering from an ankle problem during the fifth over and departed from the field for a while. Overall, he bowled eight overs, giving away 43 runs without any wickets.
When Shami and Rohit came back on the field, both of them were visibly comfortable. Shami bowled at the end, and Rohit played in the second innings without any indication of discomfort. This suggests that their injuries were not that serious. They should be available for the next game against New Zealand.
