“RO (Rohit) looks good. He is going to bat today (in a training session). It was just an unfortunate effect on his leg while batting. So it is not comfortable. We were traveling tomorrow (Saturday), and he would be a hit today and then we will assess on it,” he said.
Bumrah’s complete fitness and reports of Rohit recovering from their injuries come as a boost for the five -time IPL champion, as they have managed to win only one win in this IPL season so far.
