Rohit Sharma was struck on the bicep by a ball while batting during India's T20 World Cup 2024 match against Ireland in New York. At the time of the injury, Rohit had just completed his half-century and subsequently retired hurt, heading back to the pavilion.

Not only Rohit Sharma but also Rishabh Pant sustained an injury to his hand during the T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Ireland. Despite this, Pant continued to perform and remained unbeaten to help the Men in Blue secure a solid 8-wicket win in their tournament opener.

The drop-in pitch, brought to New York from Australia's Adelaide Oval, is facing criticism from fans and experts for its sluggish nature and unpredictable extra bounce. 

After the match against Ireland, Rohit Sharma commented, "I said this at the time of the toss, we were quite unsure about what to expect from the pitch. It's a new ground, new venue, drop-in pitch, we didn't know what it meant to play on a five-month-old pitch."
