India Relieved as Injury Scare for KL Rahul Turns Out to be False Alarm during MCG Training; Rohit Sharma and Akash Deep Declared Fit

Sure! Here’s a modified version of the content with some enhancements for clarity and flow: ```text It was a challenging training session for India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, just four days before the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. Although it turned out to be a false alarm regarding Rohit Sharma and Akash Deep, India faced an injury concern when KL Rahul was struck on the hand. ``` ### Changes Made: - Changed "injury-laden" to "challenging" for a more positive tone. - Replaced "While it turned out to be a false alarm on" with "Although it turned out to be a false alarm regarding" for better clarity. - Changed "handed an injury headache" to "faced an injury concern" for smoother reading. - Replaced "hit on the hand" with "struck on the hand" for variety in word choice.

It happened on Sunday when Rahul was hit on his right hand while batting at the nets. He looked in absolute discomfort at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will host the Boxing Day Test from December 26 with the five-match series levelled at 1-1 and was immediately attended to by the team's physio. In a video that went viral on social media, Rahul was seen holding the right hand while receiving treatment.

India have yet to give clarity on the extent of the injury and why he had sought medical attention.

If India are forced to bench Rahul at the MCG, it will be a major setback for the team, given that the opener has been the only consistent batter for the side in the ongoing Test series, having scored 235 runs from six innings at an impressive average of 47.

The Indian cricket fraternity was served a shocker on Sunday morning, with visuals of Rohit sitting on the sidelines of the training session with an ice pack on his right knee. The India captain was struck during his batting session. But it turned out to be a false alarm. Although he did not return to the nets thereafter, a report in Sportstar said that he was seen having a word with the final set of batters who had hit the nets.

Akash, on the other hand, was hit on his hand and was seen placing an ice bag on the injured area. However, he later told the media: “The practice pitch is probably meant for white-ball cricket, the ball kept low at times. As for these minor injuries, these things happen at training, and there are no major concerns because of that. I am fine.”
