"It's okay at the moment. We've got a few days till the next game, hopefully it should be okay (his injury). How we bowled in the middle overs was crucial. I thought we used the conditions well. Used the variations well. Was very clinical how we chased. When you watched from the outside, didn't feel a lot of risk was taken, was a lot of calmness in the middle," said Rohit in a post-match presentation.

"Surya batted brilliantly, good partnership there with Iyer. The pitch had something in it for the bowlers, not an easy target. Was important to pick the right shots, right balls on a ground like that," he added.

Earlier, after Rohit had retired hurt, the BCCI also took to Twitter to post an update on the Indian captain's condition.
