Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer have suffered an injury during the first ODI against England at Pune. Very early in the match, Rohit was hit on his elbow courtesy of a fast-rising delivery from Mark Wood. The team India opening batsman was straightaway in pain but decided to continue batting before he was eventually dismissed on 28. Then during the England run chase, Shreyas Iyer in the ring on the off-side put a full stretched dive to save a boundary that badly hurt his shoulder.
