Team India has suffered a major setback as the Indian captain Rohit Sharma retired in between the India vs West Indies third T20 International match.The 35 year-old captain appeared in discomfort and it looked like a muscle near his waist or lower back had pulled.

Shreyas Iyer replaced him in the 2nd over. Team India can win the third T20I and take a 2-1 lead in the series, as they need to chase down a target of 165 runs.

The Indian captain was batting on 11 off five balls, but had to leave the field in the second over during the chase. India were at 19/0 in 1.4 overs before Rohit pulled a muscle of his back. The Indian physio came out quickly to check him and after a long discussion with him, the Indian skipper decided not to continue to be on the field any further.

As per the latest report, Rohit went for scans to see how big the injury was. Many experts have suspected that the injury took place when Rohit went for a leg swipe two balls earlier before walking off the field.
