Rohit was taking a customary throwdown from Indian sidearm thrower S Raghu in the net session when a short ball hit his right forearm and he was seen in deep pain, immediately leaving the nets.
Rohit tried a short arm pull and the throwdown from 18 yards at 150-plus got on him and he missed the shot by a gap of a second.

He left the session and then had a large ice pack tied to his right hand but he looked deserted and in great pain, even while watching the training from afar sitting on the ice box.
Mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton was seen talking to him for a long time.
Rohit has not been able to score freely in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 and is struggling with his form. He has managed to score just 89 runs in five matches of the tournament with a top score of 53 against the Netherlands. Former India captain Virat Kohli is the highest run-scorer for India in the tournament with 246 runs, while Suryakumar Yadav has scored 225 runs at a strike rate of around 200.
India will play for Jos Buttler on Thursday, November 10. England is also facing injury problem in the team. England batsman David Malan is expected to be unavailable for the semi-finals after being ruled out of the field after suffering an injury in the first innings of England’s game against Sri Lanka in the group stage.
In the second semi-final, Pakistan will play against New Zealand tomorrow on November 9. The winner of this match will play against the winner of the India-England semi-final match for the final on Sunday 13 November.
