The 2nd ODI is on Wednesday in Guwahati, with India leading the series 1-0.

Rohit Sharma suffers an injury scare right after India wins the first ODI against the West Indies

India's win in the first ODI against the West Indies was built on Virat Kohli's unbeaten 139 and Shubman Gill's 110. Chasing 296, the hosts finished the job with 50 balls to spare. Hours later, a different clip took over social media. It showed Rohit Sharma losing his footing on the team bus stairs.

The incident happened on Sunday night, as the squad returned to its hotel in Thiruvananthapuram. Rohit was helped to his feet quickly, and no injury has been reported so far. Even so, the video has raised an obvious question ahead of Wednesday's second ODI, and fans have not stopped asking it.

Rohit is 39 and plays only ODIs for India. Every fitness scare now matters more, with the 2027 World Cup just a year away and his place in the side still discussed after every series. Here is what happened on the bus and what it could mean for Guwahati.

What happened to Rohit Sharma on the team bus?

India's chase in Thiruvananthapuram ended with Kohli hitting the winning runs, and the players headed back to the team hotel to celebrate. When the bus pulled up, the squad began stepping off one by one. Rohit was coming down the last few stairs when his foot slipped and he lost his balance .

He was seen slipping through the stairs, ending up near the entrance of the bus. Support staff and police personnel standing nearby rushed forward at once, and he was back on his feet quickly. The video has since been circulating on social media, with fans concerned that the Hitman may have suffered an injury from this misstep.

Is Rohit Sharma injured ahead of the 2nd ODI?

There is no official word of any injury. The BCCI and Rohit himself have not reported any injury, and no fitness update has been issued. Reports so far describe it as a scare rather than an injury. Until the team says otherwise, that remains the working assumption. Rohit had a quieter night with the bat in the opener.

He was dismissed in the 32, and Kohli and Gill then put together a big partnership, with both bringing up centuries. India lead the three-match series 1-0, and Rohit will be looking for a bigger score in Guwahati. India's camp has already dealt with plenty of fitness problems this year.

Against that backdrop, even a minor scare involving a senior player stands out. However, for now, the evidence points to a scare rather than an injury. If Rohit opens in Guwahati on Wednesday, fans will soon forget the clip. If he does not, the questions about his fitness will resurface, and they will be louder a year out from a World Cup.
