The injury of Team India’s bowling-all-rounder Shardul Thakur is not serious. Shardul was injured during the practice session before the second Test match on Saturday. According to the report of Cricbuzz, a source of the Indian team has said that Shardul is completely fine. His injury is not serious. No scan required.
Shardul was hit by a ball on his shoulder while batting in the nets in Centurion on December 30, but the identity of his injury was not known at that time. Let us tell you that the second Test between India and South Africa will be played in Cape Town from January 3. Earlier, the team was expected to suffer a big loss due to Shardul’s injury.
Shardul did not take part in the film in the nets after injury
The net session started 15 minutes after Shardul was injured, when fielding coach T. Delhi was conducting throwdown practice. Shardul was unable to play the short ball and the ball hit his shoulder.
Shardul was feeling quite bad after the length of the ball, but the dramatic release continued in the delicate nets of Mumbai. Once he had made the dramatic recovery, the physio applied an ice pack sling to his shoulder. After this he did not participate further in the nets and did not bowl.
The ball was hit on Shardul’s love
In the first Test, India’s classic number batsman Shardul was looking in good form, but he fell behind on the third ball of the 44th over. He was hit on the head by a bouncer from Gerald Kutzi. There were videos of Shardul’s trouble with the ball lease on volleyball and his concussion panel, in which the medical team assessed his injury. During the record, swelling appeared on Thakur’s head.
Despite the injury, Shardul started again. In the 47th over, his hand also got hit by Kagiso Rabada’s ball. This time also the medical team examined him. Shardul started batting, but was caught out on the very next ball.

Mohammed Shami’s team took part in the two-Test series tour of South Africa. Even before the series started, Mohammed Shami was out of the tour due to not passing the fitness test. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India did not include any player as its advisor. Now after the end of the first match, Avesh Khan has been included in the team in place of Shami.
