Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh leaves field injured
Brisbane:In a setback for Australia, all-rounder Mitchell Marsh limped off the field with a right hamstring injury just moments after lunch on day one of the second Test against India at the Gabba here Wednesday.
Mitchell grimaced and pulled up short in his follow through, before he put his head in his hands and was comforted by brother Shaun.
He then walked off the ground, with Cricket Australia (CA) confirming a short time later that the all-rounder had suffered “right hamstring soreness”.
Marsh has had a history of problems with his left hamstring – including surgery in 2012 – but this injury is to his right hamstring.
The most recent of Marsh’s left hamstring problems came during the Twenty-20 Champions League in September, which delayed his start to Australia’s tour of the UAE.
He missed the 2013 with a hamstring problem suffered during Australia A’s tour of South Africa, while his 2012-13 summer was hampered by a serious left hamstring injury he suffered while batting for Western Australia in the Ryobi Cup.
Injured Australia skipper Michael Clarke, watching the match from his home in Sydney, suggested as Marsh was shown walking off that the all-rounder may have injured his hamstring when he tweeted “Hamstring?”.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
