India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday played down concerns around his fitness that were triggered by an unscheduled break that he took during his team's six-wicket win over Pakistan in a crucial group A match of the Champions Trophy here. Rohit was seen struggling while fielding and it seemed he had pulled his hamstring. However, the skipper, who also left the field for a brief period during the Pakistan innings, said he was "okay" when asked about his hamstring in the presentation ceremony.

"Hamstring's okay at the moment," the 37-year-old said in the presentation ceremony following the win that has almost clinched a semifinal slot for India. While the bowlers set it up by packing off Pakistan for 241, the star of the day undoubtedly was Virat Kohli, who got to his 51st ODI hundred with the winning boundary through the off-side. Rohit was effusive in his praise for his longtime India teammate. "Virat loves representing the country, doing what he does the best, which is what he did today. People sitting inside the dressing room aren't surprised with what he did," Rohit said. As India closed in on victory with Kohli less than 10 runs away from his hundred, Rohit was seen gesturing to the star batter to go for the landmark with a couple of big hits. Rohit said all the players did what was required of them.
