India’s Pre-Match Routine Disrupted by Rain
Due to persistent rain in Florida, the Indian cricket team had to skip their outdoor practice session ahead of their match against Canada. Instead, Rohit Sharma and his squad opted for a gym session to stay fit and ready for their final group stage match at Lauderhill. With rain looming over the game, there’s a chance it might be affected. Nonetheless, India has already secured a spot in the Super 8 stage.
Missed Opportunity for Virat Kohli
This missed practice could have been vital for players needing to fine-tune their form, especially Virat Kohli. Struggling in this tournament, Kohli could have benefited significantly from extra batting practice. After missing the warm-up match against Bangladesh due to his late arrival, Kohli has faced a tough time: scoring just one run against Ireland, four against Pakistan, and getting dismissed for a golden duck against the USA.
The Impact of Rain on India’s Preparation
Rain not only disrupted the practice schedule but also put the upcoming match at risk. While the team stayed active with a gym session, the lack of on-field practice might affect their performance. For Kohli, in particular, getting more time to adjust to the conditions would have been invaluable ahead of the more challenging Super 8 matches.
India is hopeful that the weather will clear up, allowing them to continue their strong performance in the tournament. Despite the rain, the team remains focused and ready to take on Canada.
