‘This man deserves a ton of respect’, Australian physiotherapist lauds Rohit Sharma’s self-administered injury management
In moments of adversity, true champions shine the brightest. Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma proved this on the field when, during a match, he dislocated his shoulder, only to calmly fix it and carry on playing as if nothing had happened.
In July 2022, during a One Day International (ODI) match against England at the iconic Lord’s Cricket ground, Rohit Sharma showcased extraordinary composure and resilience.
While fielding at cover, Sharma made a diving attempt to stop a powerful shot from England’s Liam Livingstone off Jadeja’s bowling.
In the process, Sharma dislocated his left shoulder.
Displaying remarkable presence of mind, he promptly adjusted his shoulder back into place and continued playing.
Initially noticed by fans and commentators, this incident recently gained attention again when Australian musculoskeletal physiotherapist Jared Powell took to social media to hail Rohit Sharma’s physical awareness on the field.
Re-sharing a clip from 2022, Powell, who holds a PhD in shoulder pain-related studies, lauded Sharma’s self-management.

He remarked that the Indian captain “deserves a ton of respect” for his ability to address the injury on-field without immediate medical assistance.
Sharma’s swift action not only prevented potential complications of the injury but also underscored his dedication to the game.
The instance highlighted the physical and mental fortitude required at these level of sports, and Rohit Sharma definitely served as an inspiration.
For fans, this is yet another reminder of why Rohit Sharma is adored. He continues to be an inspiration to countless people.
