‘Ye sab kabse karne laga Board’ - Fans react as Indian Cricket Board shares updates on injured players including Rishabh Pant

Team India are currently busy playing the two-match Test series in the West Indies. Followed by that, they will play a three-match ODI and five-match T20I series. However, there are several players like Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Prasidh Krishna who are yet to recover from their sustained injuries.

Pant sustained injury due to the horrible road accident he experienced in December 2022. Iyer and Bumrah suffered back injuries. Krishna has been out of action due to a stress fracture while Rahul suffered a thigh injury during IPL 2023. But, the Indian Cricket Board came up with updates related to the status of those injuries ahead of the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup.

The ODI World Cup is all set to begin on 5 October 2023 in India

All these players are currently in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore. In an official media release, the Board confirmed that Rishabh Pant ‘has made significant progress in his rehabilitation.’ He has started having batting and wicketkeeping session in nets while following a fitness programme, including strength, flexibility and running. Speaking about the pacers, both Bumrah and Krishna are also having intense bowling sessions in nets while they are in the final stages of their rehabilitation. NCA are also looking to organise some practice games where they will play.

The medical team of NCA are very happy with their progress and depending on their performance in the practice games, further assessments will be done. Both Rahul and Iyer have also resumed batting in nets along with some strength and fitness drills. The medical team of NCA are very happy with their progress also and their intensity regarding skills, strength, and conditioning will be increased in the upcoming days. Seeing such positive updates, fans shared their views on social media. If these players manage to get recovered fully, then that will be a huge boost for Rohit Sharma and his men, especially regarding the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup in India later this year.
