While facing Harshal Patal in the nets, Virat Kohli got a hit of a delivery in his groin, and it made him go down on his knees for a few minutes before he started his warm-up again with a few lower jumps. The journalists who were present there at the time of India’s training session reported later that the 34-year-old batter looked fine following a hard hit in the groin portion of his body.

So, it seems that the highest-run scorer of the 20-20 World Cup 2022 has recovered from the injury scare and there is not something to worry about team India ahead of the big semifinal clash.

Earlier, the Indian camp was also in a line of tensions as skipper Rohit Sharma sustained a hit in the nets yesterday. During a throwdown session in the nets, Sharma was facing India’s throwdown expert S Raghu and got hit on the forearm of his right hand. The intensity of the hit compelled the 35-year-old to go off the nets before he came back again and started batting which was quite a bit relieving for the team management of India.

Similarly, following today’s hit on Harshal Patel’s delivery, Virat was also looking fine and hopefully, there is no concern of injury for the Indian batting great.
