Champions Trophy: KL Rahul Dismisses Rohit, Shami Injury Concerns Ahead Of NZ Clash
KL Rahul: After both Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami had left the ground with respective fitness issues during their win against Pakistan, wicket-keeper batter K.L. Rahul confirmed there are no concerns fitness-wise heading into the final group clash against New Zealand on Sunday. Both India and New Zealand have qualified for the semifinals from Group A, with hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh set to make early exits after consecutive defeats in the tournament.
The two sides last faced each other in an ODI in the 2023 World Cup semifinal, where Men in Blue sealed the tie by 70 runs at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to qualify for the summit clash. "Fitness-wise, everything seems pretty okay. There are no real concerns about anyone missing, as far as I know. Everyone has been at the gym; everyone has been in training," said KL Rahul.
With there being only one rest day between India’s Group A clash against New Zealand and their semifinal, it would not have been unprecedented if some senior players were to rest ahead of the knockout stages. However, Rahul does not see that happening.
