ODI World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma hurls abuse at Dharamshala outfield after diving and hurting finger, video viral

Team India’s World Cup 2023 campaign has been near flawless, with excellent performances in every game that the side has competed in so far. The hosts look determined to get their hands on the coveted title.

However, it seems like the side has hit a major setback as skipper Rohit Sharma presented the team with an injury scare. Taking on New Zealand in game 21 of the tournament, India opted to bowl first, and disaster potentially struck in the 10th over of the first innings as skipper Rohit Sharma had to walk out of the field. 

As Mohammed Siraj bowled the final delivery of the 10th over, Daryl Mitchell drove it onto mid-off. However, in an attempt to stop the ball, Rohit dived and potentially injured himself. With an update yet to arrive on the situation, the game continued with KL Rahul as the stand-in skipper.

India look to keep winning run alive

Talking of India’s performance at the ODI World Cup 2023 so far, the Men in Blue have been putting in a brilliant showing in the tournament. Having played four games in the competition so far, India have registered wins in every game. 

The side has taken on the likes of Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh so far and are unbeaten. In game 21 of the tournament, team India faces off against New Zealand at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, and the side will be keen on replicating their past performances once again. 

It is worth noting that New Zealand are currently unbeaten in the ODI World Cup 2023 as well. The side beat defending champions England in the season opener of the competition and have put in brilliant showings in the subsequent matches as well.
