Stuart Broad says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309’s injury beneficial for England – Cricket News Update
The promising http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465, has said that the injury of India’s middle-order batsman, Rohit Sharma, could be a blow for his team but is beneficial for the hosts as the series progresses.
"He's a dangerous player in the one-dayers, and it's obviously a shame for him, but from an England point of view it could be beneficial - as it was when we turned up for the opening match of the series and Sachin Tendulkar wasn't on India's team sheet,"
said Broad.
The 25-year-old Nottingham pacer played a key role in adding another player to India’s injury list when he delivered a fiery one, which kissed Rohit Sharma's right hand, in the series opener at Chester-le-Street on Saturday.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Maharashtra-c811 batsman immediately left the field and was taken to the hospital where scan of his injured hand revealed a fracture on his index finger.
"You never like to see a professional get injured, but this is a brutal sport and it certainly hit Rohit hard," said Broad.
"Out there you could obviously hear his screams, and when the physio got hold of him it looked quite badly dislocated as well,” he added further.
The injury not only ruled Sharma out of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782 game but also from the remainder of the series as it might take more than three weeks to completely recover.
Broad said that soon after Sharma’s injury he was quite sure the batsman would be on a flight home.
