IND vs AUS: Matt Renshaw to be monitored after knee injury
The first couple of days of the ongoing first Test match in Nagpur between India and Australia have not been the best for the Kangaroos. The visitors managed were bundled out for 177 in the first innings courtesy of a magnificent bowling display by the hosts. Indian team then piled up 400 runs with a fantastic ton by captain Rohit Sharma, with support by all-rounders Axar Patel & Ravindra Jadeja
Meanwhile, an injury scare to their middle-order batter Matt Renshaw further dented them on the second day. However, the management would be breathing easy as Renshaw returned to the field after passing the fitness test. The 26-year-old sustained a knee injury during the warm-up before the start of the second day.
As confirmed by Cricket Australia, Renshaw reported no major concerns and was cleared for a return to the field after Ashton Agar came in as a substitute for him at the start of the day. “Matthew Renshaw has returned to the field having passed a fitness test,” a team spokesperson was saying as quoted by cricket.com.au. “He is reporting no major concerns. Renshaw will continue to be monitored by team medical staff.”
The visitors are always have plenty of injury woes as they are already missing the services of all-rounder Cameron Green and pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood in the first Test.
