India's premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Saturday hurt his right knee during the fielding session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy final against Pakistan. However it might not be serious as after a 30-minute break, he was back to bowling in the nets.
Ashwin along with other senior players like skipper Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan were going through their customary fielding drills when the burly tweaker got hurt. Fielding coach R Sridhar was seen giving catches and Ashwin, while taking one, fell with his whole weight on his right knee. He was seen in considerable pain and had to cut short his fielding practice. Physio Patrick Farhart rushed to him as he was seen hobbling. Ice pack was applied on his right knee and was given a break. After around half an hour, Farhart made Ashwin do some short strides before he was back to bowling in the nets wearing a knee cap. He had an extended session and didn't look in much discomfort. It was usual net session for the Indian team with coach Anil Kumble spending quality time with bowlers.
