Shreyas Iyer ruled out of batting in Ahmedabad Test due to lower-back pain | Latest news and insights #shreyasiyer Iyer #tmw
{India's fight against Australia for first-innings supremacy in Ahmedabad was hampered by Shreyas Iyer's lower-back soreness, which prevented him from batting on day four of the match. Iyer was absent from the crease when India's innings ended after the fall of their ninth wicket.
On the third day, Ravindra Jadeja batted ahead of Shreyas Iyer, but Iyer did not come out to bat even after Jadeja was removed on the fourth morning. Instead, KS Bharat took his place at position No. 6. India went on to build a 91-run lead with the help of Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, and Mohammed Shami, who batted alongside Virat Kohli. Kohli was the ninth and last batter out for a score of 186.
after KS Bharat arrived at the crease in place of Shreyas Iyer, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a statement indicating that Iyer had complained of lower back soreness on the third day of play. The statement also noted that Iyer had undergone scans and was being monitored by the BCCI Medical Team.
India will be particularly worried about Shreyas Iyer's injury, given that he has been struggling with back issues recently. Iyer's back problems prevented him from playing in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, and he was also ruled out of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar series due to the same issue. This suggests that Iyer's back issues may be a recurring problem, which is a cause for concern for India.
Shreyas Iyer's next cricketing obligation after the ongoing Test match is to captain the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which starts on March 31. The IPL's opening match, featuring the Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, is scheduled for April 1 in Mohali.}
