"It's an injury he's had before, he knows how to manage it really well" - India assistant coach on Rohit Sharma ahead of IND vs NZ CT 2025 clash

Team India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate recently revealed that Rohit Sharma was fine amid injury concerns ahead of the New Zealand match. He opened up that the team management was not looking to rest any players as they had a week's break after the previous match.

Speaking to the reporters in Dubai, Ten Doeschate said (via ESPNcricinfo):

"He's all right. It's an injury he's had before, so he knows how to manage it really well. In terms of the bench strength, I think the priority is making sure that we have our best guys available and fully fit for the second game [the semi-final on March 4]. But we also don't want to rest them for another two days [India have had a week off]."

He continued:

"So to get that balance right, we might just try to share the bowling out a little bit. But we obviously want to win against New Zealand as well. It's important that we keep that momentum going and obviously to top the group as well. So the balance of those two things I just mentioned [is] to be thought about."
