Head trains lightly for Boxing Day Test | 02:44Indian captain Rohit Sharma is adamant his knee is “fine” as he leaves the door ajar to return to his opening role in the Boxing Day Test .
It came following a heated altercation between Virat Kohli and Australian television journalists when the squad arrived at Melbourne Airport, with Kohli remonstrating after believing his children had been filmed by cameras. “Let’s not worry about that … I think who bats where is something that we need to figure out within ourselves,” he said.“Whatever it takes for our team to look good or gives us the best chance to succeed, we’ll try and do that.”
“His left knee has exhibited minor swelling due to increased joint loading from his bowling workload. The swelling is on the expected lines, owing to the increased bowling after a prolonged period,” a BCCI statement read.
