As we gear up for the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the air around Team India is buzzing with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. In the days leading up to the first Test match, India is not only preparing for a fierce battle against Australia but is also navigating a series of unexpected challenges on the injury front.
The biggest question looming over the squad is the status of star batter Virat Kohli, who recently underwent medical scans for a mysterious injury. This setback threatens to impact India’s plans for the crucial opening Test.
Meanwhile, opener KL Rahul has also raised concerns. Rahul, expected to replace Rohit Sharma at the top of the order, suffered an injury during India’s intra-squad match.
But Rahul is not the only one managing pain. Middle-order batter Sarfaraz Khan, who’s emerging as an essential part of India’s lineup, was also hit on his right elbow during a net session.
