The injury occurred just before lunch, in the 30th over, when Veer dived to his right at mid-off to stop a firm hit by Jharkhand’s Shikhar Mohan. While he managed to stop the ball, Veer landed awkwardly on his right shoulder.
While he was administered pain-relief spray immediately, Veer was pulled out of the field and taken to hospital for scans. When he returned, his arm was in a sling. He’s unlikely to play any further part in the match.
Jharkhand, having been asked to bat, reached 279 for 1 by stumps on day one. Opener Sharandeep Singh scored his second first-class century, remaining unbeaten on 128, with strong support from Mohan (78) and Aryaman Sen (64*).
This is a very important match for both teams as they look to stay alive in the knockout race.
