Sep 29, 2010 |

Chandigarh, Sept. 28: Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh along with openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday took part in the practice session at the Sector-16 cricket stadium here.

India’s spin spearhead Harbhajan Singh who underwent an MRI scan at a private hospital in Mohali on Monday after suffering a side sprain, trained for about an hour here.

The offie bowled in his natural rhythm and later batted as well for a while.

At the PCA stadium in Mohali on Monday, Harbhajan was seen limping during the practice session with his ankle bandaged. He though, took part in the training after taking a break. Last evening , he had also bowled at Sector-16 stadium nets after the conclusion of the match between Australia XI and Board President’s XI.

Then he went to Fortis Hospital in Mohali for the MRI scan.

The hospital sources had said that there was no serious injury but since he got a sprain, it would be advisable to take rest for the next few days.

Meanwhile, Sehwag batted with ease after having hurt his right knee while facing speedster Ishant Sharma during Sunday’s net session, at the PCA Stadium in Mohali.

Left-handed batsman Gautam Gambhir, who was on Sunday rushed to a hospital here after being hit on the right wrist by a Ben Hilfenhaus delivery also had a knock on the day.
