Although the third ODI between India and West India saw the visitors tumbling the hosts, it also gave a mini heart attack to the Indian fans across the globe.
After India restricted West Indies to a total of 164 runs, skipper Rohit Sharma came out all guns blazing and looked in great touch. He was batting on 11 off 5 balls and also hit a six and a four before he pulled a muscle and walked off the field retired hurt.

BCCI then issued the formal statement and revealed that the Indian skipper had a back spasm and was monitored by the medical team. As he walked off the field, many speculations have raised regarding his availability for the 4th game.
But in what was a sigh of relief, Rohit at the post-match presentation revealed that he’s fine and is hopeful to play the fourth game.
“At the moment, it’s okay. We’ve got a few days till the next game, hopefully, it should be okay,” Rohit said.
