Injured Rohit to consult expert in Mumbai ahead of Tests

Indian captain Rohit Sharma will travel to Mumbai to counsel a specialist in the wake of harming his thumb in the second ODI against Bangladesh, lead trainer Rahul Dravid has said.

Rohit left the field as soon as the second over subsequent to harming his thumb and didn't get back to the field during the Bangladesh innings. The 35-year-old didn't emerge to open the innings also, with Virat Kohli supplanting him Shikhar Dhawan's accomplice at the top.

Rohit was shipped off a clinic and the ensuing X-beam reports affirmed no break, the India skipper said about his physical issue at the post-match show. Rohit, with fastens on his thumb, emerged to bat right toward the finish of the Indian innings and nearly won the challenge for the guests.

Presently Rohit's takeoff to India for clinical conference has placed in uncertainty his support in the two Test matches.

"Rohit will absolutely miss the following game, fly back to Bombay, talk with a specialist and perceive the way things are and regardless of whether he can return for the Test matches," Dravid said. "I don't know. It's too early to say that (he'll be good for the Tests or not).

"I think for him to show that degree of boldness, he had a serious separation, he needed to go to clinic to get that fixed, lines in his grasp, several infusions to go out and bat," Dravid further added on Rohit's unbeaten 51 that fell off only 28 balls batting at No.9. "Credit to him, he not entirely set in stone to go out and have a proceed to take a risk and it's astonishing the way in which close he got us with that innings, it was a totally remarkable innings by the captain. Incredible boldness to have the option to go out there and allow us an opportunity. Tragically, in the end we were unable to move past the line."

While additionally affirming that Kuldeep Sen and Deepak Chahar are out of conflict to play the last ODI with wounds, Dravid neglected concerns encompassing India's structure in ODI cricket following consecutive series routs. "It's a truly thrilling organization," he said. "As you found in these games it's a spectacular configuration to play. At the point when there's a ton of cricket, you need to focus on specific configurations. For the most recent few years we've positively focused on the T20 design with two World Cups so a ton of our young men haven't played a ton of one-day cricket. Over the course of the following 8-9 months we will focus on one-day cricket a ton and ideally we can get our full crew to play from the home series in January.

"It's difficult shuffling between the three configurations however that is reality, that is the manner in which we plan. We knew that we'd not have the option to play our full crews either in NZ or here due to how tight they were and close they were, particularly subsequent to returning from a truly furious 3-4 months of cricket. However, ideally now the white-ball young men will get a tad of a break while the Test players play the Test matches and we're trusting that once we get to India, we have nine matches in India before the IPL, so god willing we don't have such a large number of wounds and we can play a settled crew in those nine games."

Regardless of the flighty structure, Dravid figured out how to discover a few up-sides and piled acclaim on allrounder Washington Sundar. "Again he (Washington) is somebody who has had a great deal of wounds last year," Dravid noted. "It's truly ideal to see the manner in which he's returning, he's bowled well in both the games and he batted well in New Zealand also. Here since we needed to extend our batting a smidgen and push that left-right mix along, we advanced Washington. We feel that he's a truly skilled batsman and he can bat all around well.

"I think even in this series just to see the manner in which Umran came in and bowled today (was satisfying). Sadly for Kuldeep, he played one game and got harmed. He's somebody truly energizing. There's a few decent up-sides notwithstanding losing the series, two close games in 2-0, we had our chances yet there's certain up-sides we can accept from this series too. Rahul's batting in the last game, Shreyas' batting in this game, a portion of the bowling... I thought Siraj was excellent in the last game. Shardul has bowled especially well in both the games and Washington too, Axar's batting today. So there have been pieces and pieces there we can cheer up from. Obviously we're frustrated with the outcome however there are a few up-sides as we incorporate into the following Scene Cup and there are a ton of matches to go. So nothing to be discouraged about, things to gain from and ideally push ahead."
