Shreyas Iyer Indian team's middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer has been in the news ever since he and Ishan Kishan were dropped from the central contract by BCCI. Regarding Shreyas Iyer, BCCI felt that Ranji Trophy has no importance for him and he reached Kolkata Knight Riders camp for preparations for IPL 2024. Shreyas Iyer left the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals due to back pain and left for Mumbai. Although the National Cricket Academy believed he was fully fit, Shreyas Iyer injured his back again in the Ranji Trophy final.
Big blow for Kolkata Knight Riders
Shreyas Iyer played an inning of 95 runs in the Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha, but during this innings his back injury resurfaced. Last year he had undergone surgery for this injury and now due to this injury he may miss some matches of IPL 2024. This is a big blow for Kolkata Knight Riders, because he is the captain of the team. Now the tournament is just a few days away and the team has to play its first match on March 23. Before this, injury to an important player is not only a big blow for KKR but also raises questions on the attitude of BCCI and NCA.
Iyer could not take the field on the fourth day of the final
Shreyas Iyer had to visit Mumbai's physio twice due to back pain while batting on Tuesday. Yesterday, on the fourth day of the Ranji Trophy final, Iyer could not take the field for the whole day. According to reports, Iyer had gone to the hospital for a scan of his back. “The injury doesn’t look good,” a source said. It's the same back injury that has worsened. He is unlikely to field on the fifth day of the Ranji Trophy final. He will not be able to play even in the initial matches of IPL 2024.”
Head of NCA medical team declared Iyer fit
Shreyas complained of back pain after batting for 30-40 minutes in the Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha. “During the recently concluded Test series against England at home, he informed the Indian team management about the injury, which is troubling him again,” the source said. However, NCA medical team head Nitin Patel declared him fit. BCCI deprived him of the central contract because he is not playing Ranji Trophy matches.
