‘Abhi aur injured honge ki ho gaya’ – Shreyas Iyer joins Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant on injury list ahead of Test Championship Finals

After winning the Border-Gavaskar series, 2-1 against Australia, India became the first team to qualify for the World Test Championship finals for the second consecutive time. The final will be played after the completion of the Indian T20 League 2023 from June 7 to June 11 at The Oval, England, which will be played between India and Australia. In the final, India will be missing Shreyas Iyer as well, after Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah were ruled out due to their respective injuries.

Jasprit Bumrah – India’s ace pacer, Jasprit Bumrah would be unable to participate in the Test Championship final this time around. For a long time, Bumrah has been the top bowler across all three formats. But his back injury has been bothering him for a while now. The Mumbai franchise bowler has already had to withdraw from the Asia Cup 2022, the 20-20 World Cup 2022, and the Border-Gavaskar series because of his injuries. Now, he has also been left out of the Test Championship finals as well. For the management, finding a replacement for Bumrah is a major concern.

Shreyas Iyer missed the fourth BGT Test due to a back injury

Rishabh Pant – The Indian Test team’s most dependable player in recent years, Rishabh Pant, had a car accident in December last year. Pant will be out of the game for a very long time as a result of the accident’s severe injuries. Pant won’t be able to participate in the Test Championship final. On this wicket, Pant has already scored a century and a fifty. His absence from the squad in this circumstance is a serious setback. The entire world is aware of Pant’s abilities, particularly against Australia.

Shreyas Iyer – During the fourth Test match against Australia, Shreyas Iyer sustained a back injury. After that, he was unable to even bat in India’s opening innings and was sent for a scan. The next ODI series against Australia, without this player, is a big challenge. His participation in the Indian T20 League is also doubtful. Back injuries can occasionally be difficult to heal, therefore it is uncertain how long Iyer will need to recover in this case.
