XtraTime Web Desk: India skipper Virat Kohli had a major injury scare when he hurt his finger during India’s training session at Southampton on Saturday ahead of facing South Africa in their first match of World Cup.
Kohli injured his right thumb during the training session on Saturday and India physiotherapist Patrick Farhart made sure it was attended on time as he used the magic spray before taping his thumb up.
It is unclear whether Kohli hurt his thumb while batting or fielding as the captain did look to be in discomfort.
At the end of the session, Kohli was seen walking off with his thumb dipped in a glass full of ice.
The Indian team management or BCCI have not spoken anything official about Kohli’s injury.
Before Kohli, Vijay Shankar had also missed India’s first warm-up game against New Zealand after hurting his elbow during a training session. All-rounder Kedar Jadhav is also yet to recover from the shoulder injury he picked during the IPL match.
